1. Houses and land I may not own,
Wealth and riches may be none,
A little pilgrim in this world I may be,
I can’t keep up with the times,
But I know I’m doing fine,
For I claim Jesus first and that’s enough for me.
2. Jesus said, “Acknowledge me,
And I will lead you faithfully,”
And I know that He will keep His word to me,
So I’ll praise His holy name,
And His promises I’ll claim,
And I claim Jesus first and that’s enough for me.
3. Oh, how precious is His grace,
When you know the time and place,
That you left this sinful world down on your knees,
Jesus bought my fallen soul,
Now it’s better felt then told,
I claim Jesus first and that’s enough for me.
Chorus #1: I claim Jesus first of all,
He will answer when I call,
For I know that I’m a child the Son set free,
I am God’s own child by birth,
The highest honor on this earth,
I claim Jesus first and that’s enough for me.
Chorus #2: I claim Jesus first of all,
He will answer when I call,
For I know that I’m a soul the Son set free,
And according to His Word,
Jesus feeds the little birds,
I claim Jesus first and that’s enough for me.
