You're the first thing on my mind
The first thing on my mind, Lord, is you.
I know you're there to talk with me
The moment I awake
'cause I've been on your mind
The whole night through.
Jesus you're the first thing on my mind
Jesus you're the one who is so kind
When there's cloudy skies
You wipe the rain drops from my eyes
Jesus you're the first thing on my mind
When I'm hard at work
And everything comes out wrong,
Everything comes out wrong that I do
The devil offers answers
Of cursing and disgust
But the first thing on my mind Lord, is you.
When my wife and I
Don't do our best,
The kids are fightin' and the dog and cat are too,
I remember how you love us and it puts my heart to rest
The first thing on my mind Lord, is you.
Jesus you're the first thing on my mind
Jesus you're the one who is so kind
When there's cloudy skies
You wipe the rain drops from my eyes
Jesus you're the first thing on my mind
