All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
When we offer your our lives
Every sacrifice is given first
Who've given first
And when we make the choice to serve
Attending others needs who served us first
Who served us first
Yeah, is nothing we can't do, that you not done for us
Father you're a sorcerer, that's love
So we love to give you because you gave so much
Now we live to love because you're person of trust
So we love to give you because you gave so much
Now we live to love because you're person of trust
You loved us first
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
When you walk in faithfulness keeping cover
You're faithful first, faithful first
When you run to win the prize, to reach the finish line
You're running first, running first
Every path we suffer on, you have walked before
Every victory we won it's yours
So we love to give you because you gave so much
Now we live to love because you're person of trust
So we love to give you because you gave so much
Now we live to love because you're person of trust
So we love to give you because you gave so much
Now we live to love because you're person of trust
So we love to give you because you gave so much
Now we live to love because you're person of trust
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
All the love we give you've given first
