You’ve made me last
So that I would be first
You’ve given fresh water
To those who thirst
And hunger after righteousness
For they are truly filled
With your Holy Spirit
The One who reveals the Will
Of the Father
His purpose in the earth
Equipped to complete assignments
Given to them at birth
Pains from creatures’ travailing
Waiting for sons to manifest
Bringing deliverance, salvation
Hope, redemption and rest
From labor to reward
What we’ve all been waiting for
The prize of the high calling,
What we’ve all been working towards
Has meet us at the back
The very back of the line
For he was always waiting there
For he had First in mind
