Lyrics

THE FIRST THING I DO 197

VERSE 1

Shake thyself from the dust

Arise and sit down

Lose the bands from thy neck

Oh, Jerusalem

Shake thyself from the dust

Arise and sit down

Oh captive daughter of Zion!

PRE CHORUS

What is the first thing that I do when I wake up in the morning?

What is the last thing that I do every night, before I go to sleep?

CHORUS

I get up and I say thank You Lord

For all the things You’ve done for me

I kneel down right by my bedside

And I worship, I worship Your majesty

VERSE 2

I look for my Bible and I find a quiet place

To have my quiet time with the Lord

No Bible, no breakfast

No talking to people

Without talking to God

PRE CHORUS

What is the first thing that I do when I wake up in the morning?

What is the last thing that I do every night, before I go to sleep?

CHORUS

I get up and I say thank You Lord

For all the things You’ve done for me

I kneel down right by my bedside

And I worship, I worship Your majesty

VERSE 3

I need sweet fellowship with the Holy Spirit

I need to feel His presence, come near Him

I need to hear His voice, when I read my Bible

Need to know He’s spoken to me

PRE CHORUS

What is the first thing that I do when I wake up in the morning?

What is the last thing that I do every night, before I go to sleep?

CHORUS

I get up and I say thank You Lord

For all the things You’ve done for me

I kneel down right by my bedside

And I worship, I worship Your majesty

CODA

What is the first thing that I do? (I have my quiet time)

What is the last thing that I do? (I read my Bible)
