Lauren Daigle's song 'First' is a worship ballad about prioritizing God above all else. The lyrics express a desire to seek God first before bringing needs or cares, to listen for His voice before speaking, and to find joy even in pain. The song emphasizes making God the primary focus in every season and moment, declaring Him as treasure and reward. It encourages a posture of surrender and devotion, aligning with biblical themes of seeking God's kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). The repetitive chorus reinforces the central message of putting God first in all things.

I will bring my heart
Before I lift my cares
I will lift my arms
I wanna know You
I wanna find You
In every season
In every moment
Before I bring my need
I will bring my heart
And seek You
First, I wanna seek You
I wanna seek You, First
I wanna keep You
I wanna keep You, First
More than anything I want,
I want You First
Before I speak a word
Let me hear Your voice
And in the midst of pain
Let me feel Your joy
Ooh, I wanna know You
I wanna find You
In every season
In every moment
Before I speak a word
I will bring my heart
And seek You
First, I wanna seek You
I wanna seek You, First
I wanna keep You
I wanna keep You, First
More than anything I want,
I want You First
You are my treasure and my reward
Let nothing ever come before
You are my treasure and my reward
Let nothing ever come before
I seek You
First, I wanna seek You
I wanna seek You, First
I wanna keep You
I wanna keep You, First
More than anything I want,
I want You First
