Oh, we gather in Your name today
Lord, hear our cry, hear us pray
We stand together in this holy place
At God First Ministries, feeling Your grace
Lord, we thank You for this home we've found
Where Your love and Your mercy always abound
Keep us steady, keep us strong and true
No matter what happens, we lean on You
Yes Lord, we lean on You
God First Ministries, a light in the dark
You’ve placed Your fire, a holy spark
We lift up the mission, we lift up the goal
You satisfy every thirsty soul
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
We honor the founder, a man who fears You
Reverend Nkosikhona Mahlaba, see him through
From Hammarsdale Ezitendeni, a servant born again
Lord, protect our leader, hear our plea, amen
Keep him standing on the solid rock
As he leads the sheep of your chosen flock
Praise Him, praise Him
God First Ministries, a light in the dark
You’ve placed Your fire, a holy spark
We lift up the mission, we lift up the goal
You satisfy every thirsty soul
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Protect the leadership that serves with might
Who put in the work to keep the path bright
And one by one, bless every member here
Wash away every doubt, wash away every fear
Oh, we love You Jesus, we love You Lord
We trust in Your promise, we trust in Your word
For the impact made, for the lives you touch
We thank You Father, we thank You so much
God First Ministries, may Your kingdom grow
Let Your living waters continue to flow
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
God First Ministries, a light in the dark
You’ve placed Your fire, a holy spark
We lift up the mission, we lift up the goal
You satisfy every thirsty soul
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
We love You Lord, yes we do
Everything we are, we give to You
God First Ministries, stay strong and free
Glory to the Highest, for eternity
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
