Seek First
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't ask what you'll eat, don't ask what you'll drink,
don't worry what you'll wear, don't fret, don't think,
the Gentiles eagerly seek after these,
your heavenly Father knows just what you need.
[Pre-Chorus]
Your Father knows, your Father knows,
just what you need before it shows.
[Chorus]
Seek first His kingdom, seek His righteousness,
and all these things will be added, no more, no less,
don't worry for tomorrow, it will worry on its own,
seek first, seek first, seek first His kingdom.
[Verse 2]
So don't worry for tomorrow's fight,
tomorrow will worry for itself tonight,
each day has trouble enough of its own,
lay today down, you're not alone.
[Chorus]
Seek first His kingdom, seek His righteousness,
and all these things will be added, no more, no less,
don't worry for tomorrow, it will worry on its own,
seek first, seek first, seek first His kingdom.
[Bridge]
Not by worry but by seeking first,
kingdom, righteousness — He knows the need, He knows the thirst.
[Outro]
Seek first, seek first,
seek first His kingdom,
seek first, seek first.
Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
