Text: Sara Groves. First Song That I Sing.

In the morning when I rise, help me to prioritize
All the thoughts that fill my day
Before my schedule tells me that my day is full
Before I'm off and on my way

I want to praise You
I need to praise You
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and King

Before the curtains part, before my day is starting
Before I make up the bed
Before the snooze alarm reminds me that it's morning
Before the dreams have left my head

I want to praise You
I need to praise You
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and King
(Praise the Lord, praise Him, praise the Lord, praise)

Before my feet hit the floor, I'll praise You, Lord, I'll praise You, Lord
Before I fill my cup, I'll lift You up, I'll lift You up
Before I start my day, I'll sing Your praise, I'll sing Your praise
Before I start my car, before I get too far

I want to praise You
I need to praise You, oh
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and King
(Praise the Lord, praise Him)

The first song that I sing be praises
Let the first song that I sing be praises
(Praise the Lord, praise )
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and King

(First song that I sing)
Sing your praise to the Lord
(First song that I sing)
Come on everybody
(First song that I sing)

First song that I sing be praise
(First song that I sing)
Come on everybody
First song that I sing be praises
(First song that I sing)

Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and King
(Stand up and sing, come on, Hallelujah)
Let the first song that I sing be praises, come on everybody
(First song that I sing)

(Come on sing, sing, sing)
Before my feet hit the floor
(Come on sing, sing, sing)
I am going to praise You, Lord
(Come on sing, sing, sing)

First song that I sing
(First song that I sing, come on, sing)
First song that I sing
(First song that I sing)

(Sing, sing, sing, praise the Lord
First song that I sing, come on, sing, sing, sing
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Come on, sing, sing, sing, sing)
