I Should Be First

I should be first in your heart, dear child,
None other rise above
And claim your first allegiance
And capture all your love.

I should be first in your heart, dear child.
Decisions that you make
Should not be those that grieve My heart,
E’en for a loved one’s sake

I should be first in your heart, dear child,
None other God, but me.
I claim your sole allegiance
Into eternity.
