The First Thing Video (MV)

They raise a colored flag for the world to see
And shout in unison for equality
These are the rights they have, each free to choose
Except the ones who oppose their views

We've got a case of paralysis
We're too afraid to call it what it is
But with every stone we throw
He's writin' in the sand

What is the first thing that they see
Is it the grace You give to me
Is it a love that won't let go
Are You a God they've gotta know

We stare through colored glass at a world in need
We mute His grace with hypocrisy
They see the lofty gaze, judgment in our eyes
And we push them further still away from Christ

We've got a case of paralysis
We sing of love, but shun the Fatherless
While there's a God of hope
Who's reachin' out His hand

What is the first thing that they see
Is it the grace You give to me
Is it a love that won't let go
Are You a God they've gotta know

We speak of Hell and we warn of fate
They call us bigots, full of hate
But we can't grasp the span of grace
Until we know the Judge we all must face

What is the first thing that they see
Is it the grace You give to me
Is it a love that won't let go
Are You a God they've gotta know

'Cause love is the first thing
Love is the first thing
'Cause love is the first thing
Love is the first thing
