When I say I put my faith first, I mean God and His Word,  
Not placing my trust in the church or the people I've heard.  
This might sting a little, but the truth must be known
Everyone lies, and we all can be shown.  

Our flesh is so sinful, this is clear to see,  
I devote my life to Christ because I choose to be free.  
I stand firm in my faith, not led by another,  
Stubborn in my beliefs, like a sister or brother.  

I long to stop sinning; the guilt cuts so deep,  
I hate the wrongdoings, but love the sinner’s keep.  
When I say my faith is my number one light,  
I’ll open my Bible and pray before seeking advice.  

I’m not isolating, nor pushing you away,  
I’m building my bond with God, day by day.  
These choices are mine, made with free will,  
I choose to follow Him, for I love Him still.
