4. First Things First

Writers: Caleb Ward, Jordan Ward, Jake Hess, Grant Bias

Lyrics:

All the things that I have held dear

The vanities that whispered in my ear

What would I do if they all disappeared

Riches and fame and all that they could buy

I've come to find they never satisfy

What would I gain if my soul's the price

I don't want to love what the world loves

I don't want to chase what the world does

I only want you, I only want you

First things first, I seek Your will

Not my own

Surrender all my wants to You

Keep the first thing first

To live Your truth

Walk Your ways

Set my eyes

Lord, I fix my face on You

All my desires reversed

To keep the first thing first

I give it all

My life, an offering

My heart is Yours so have Your way in me

Your kingdom's all I want to seek

I don't want to love what the world loves

No, I don't want to chase what the world does

I only want you, I only want you

First things first, I seek Your will

Not my own

Surrender all my wants to You

Keep the first thing first

To live Your truth

Walk Your ways

Set my eyes

Lord, I fix my face on you

All my desires reversed

To keep the first thing first

All my desires reversed

To keep the first thing first

First things first, I seek Your will

Not my own

Surrender all my wants to You

Keep the first thing first

To live Your truth

Walk Your ways

Set my eyes

Lord, I fix my face on You

All my desires reversed

To keep the first thing first

All my desires reversed

To keep the first thing first

Hope Says

Writers: Caleb Ward, Jordan Ward, Tony Wood

Lyrics:

Woke up this mornin’, turned the tv on

Same story playing’ all day long

It’s like static ringing in my ears

They’re pushing doubt

and they’re selling fear

It’s hard to hear a still small voice

When it’s fighting just to break through the noise

Hope says it’s getting better

Hope says I’m gonna make it out

He’s still writing my story

From glory to glory

He’s not finished with me yet

Just keep standing strong

Keep leaning on

I won’t second guess

What hope says

I’ll play it smart, I’m gonna guard my heart

See the days for how they really are

Hold peace through the urgency

There’s more to life

than what my eyes can see

It’s hard to hear a still small voice

When it’s fighting just to break through the noise

Hope says it’s getting better

Hope says I’m gonna make it out

He’s still writing my story

From glory to glory

He’s not finished with me yet

Just keep standing strong

Keep leaning on

I won’t second guess

What hope says

Hope says when it’s hard stay in it

Even when it feels like you’ve hit your limit

There’s grace on grace

To run your race

To keep the faith and win it

Hope says I’m gonna make it out

I’m gonna make it out

Hope says it’s getting better

Hope says I’m gonna make it out

He’s still writing my story

From glory to glory

He’s not finished with me yet

Just keep standing strong

Keep leaning on

I won’t second guess

What hope says

It’s A Yes

Writers: Caleb Ward, Jordan Ward, Shane Stevens, Don Koch

Lyrics:

Got all these questions

Circling around my head

I hear Your words are perfect

From the preacher man

And no nothing is impossible

And Your love’s gonna cover it all

Desperation’s creeping

Trying to steal my light

But the hope I’m keeping’s keeping me alive

Yeah it all comes down to faith

So that’s where I’m gonna stay

If it’s a yes in Heaven

It’s a yes on earth

I’ll never second guess

I’ll take You at Your word

It’s a yes

You ask me if I’ll follow

Will I go where You go

Forever and tomorrow I

never will say no

It’s a yes

Don’t wanna twist Your truth

Or buy into a lie

Let me be living proof

By the way I live my life

With no hesitation

No doubts inside

Just Your revelation

Flooding my mind

You’ve opened my eyes

You've opened my eyes

If it’s a yes in Heaven

It’s a yes on earth

I’ll never second guess

I’ll take You at Your word

It’s a yes

You ask me if I’ll follow

Will I go where You go

Forever and tomorrow

I never will say no

It’s a yes

If it’s Your word

It’s Your will

I believe what You’ve said

All of Your promises

I believe it’s a yes

If it’s Your word

It’s Your will

I believe what You’ve said

All of Your promises

I believe it’s a yes

I believe it's a yes

If it’s a yes in Heaven

It’s a yes on earth

I’ll never second guess

I’ll take You at Your word

It’s a yes

You ask me if I’ll follow

Will I go where You go

Forever and tomorrow

I never will say no

It’s a yes

It's a yes

You ask me if I'll follow

Will I go where you go

It's a yes

Goodbye Ole Me

Writers: Caleb Ward, Jordan Ward, Iveth Luna

Lyrics:

Look what He’s done

I’ve been set free

Every mistake

He washed me clean

When I lost my way

Amazing grace found me

Goodbye ole me

I’m not myself

It’s no longer me that’s living

It’s like I’m someone else

He rescued me

Loosed me from hell

I’m giving up what I was holding

So long, Adieu, farewell

Goodbye ole me

These brand new clothes

Look good on me

I’m wearing favor

Like Kings & Queens

My righteousness

Is more than what you see

I’m righteousness

Cause Jesus lives in me

Goodbye ole me

I’m not myself

It’s no longer me that’s living

It’s like I’m someone else

He rescued me

Loosed me from hell

I’m giving up what I was holding

So long, Adieu, farewell

Goodbye ole me

Let the Church rise up

Let em say so

The redeemed of the Lord

Let em say so

Let the Saints rise up

Like the morning sun

Let em say so

Oh I’m never gonna go back

I’m never gonna turn back

I’m never gonna go back

So long, Adieu, farewell

Goodbye ole me

It's like I'm someone else

Goodbye ole me

I’m not myself

It’s no longer me that’s living

It’s like I’m someone else

He rescued me

Loosed me from hell

I’m giving up what I was holding

So long, Adieu, farewell

Goodbye ole me

Walk With Jesus

Writers: Caleb Ward, Jordan Ward, Don Koch

Lyrics:

So many people

Trying to fill a void inside

So many questions

Asking how, Asking why

I might not have all the answers

But I’ve tasted and I’ve seen

There’s a better path with Jesus

There’s no going back for me

I’m gonna live the way he says to live

Do what He says to do

You can choose whatever road you choose

But I’m gonna love the way He says to love

Trust the way He says to trust

This world alone will never be enough

So I’m gonna walk with Jesus

I’m gonna walk

I’m gonna walk with Jesus

(I’m gonna walk, I’m gonna walk)

He’s in the leading

That’s why I follow where He goes

He’s in restoring

All the lost and broken souls

He keeps moving rich in mercy

He meets us where we are

No matter where you’ve gone

No such thing as gone too far

I’m gonna live the way he says to live

Do what He says to do

You can choose whatever road you choose

But I’m gonna love the way He says to love

Trust the way He says to trust

This world alone will never be enough

So I’m gonna walk with Jesus

I’m gonna walk

I’m gonna walk with Jesus

I’m gonna walk

I’m gonna walk with Jesus

Though none go with me

Still I will follow

Though none go with me

I’m gonna walk

Though none go with me

Still I will follow

Though none go with me

I’m gonna walk

Though none go with me

Still I will follow

Though none go with me

I’m gonna walk

I’m gonna live the way he says to live

Do what He says to do

You can choose whatever road you choose

But I’m gonna love the way He says to love

Trust the way He says to trust

This world alone will never be enough

So I’m gonna walk with Jesus

I’m gonna walk

I’m gonna walk with Jesus

I’m gonna walk

I’m gonna walk with Jesus

I’m gonna walk

I’m gonna walk with Jesus
