I went to a Christian Men's Retreat this past weekend, and the theme was "First Responder", and I sat down on the second day of the retreat, and wrote the chorus, and on Sunday wrote the verses, I recorded it yesterday..

First Responder

.

I see people everyday, it seems that they are lost,
they do not know the Lord, they do not know the cost.
The sacrifice he made for them on a hill called Calvary,
so they could live a life eternally.

I want to be a first responder,
a person you can lean on,
with the troubles in this life.
Lord, let me be a first responder,
ready at any time,
to fight the creator of strife.

Satan says, why bother, leave them alone they’re mine,
How easily he forgets, about a certain time.
When he thought he had Job, he failed so miserably,
Job praised the same God, as you and me..


I want to be a first responder,
a person you can lean on,
with the troubles in this life.
Lord, let me be a first responder,
ready at any time,
to fight the creator of strife.

I want to be a first responder,
a person you can lean on,
with the troubles in this life.
Lord, let me be a first responder,
ready at any time,
to fight the creator of strife.

Excellent song structure! Great production values and I really heard the message. My only nitpick is that the harmony track seems to overwhelm the main vocals. If I was mixing this I would maybe pan them out drop the volume and add some reverb for depth. Thanks for posting this.

Fantastic song

Super vocal with outstanding lyrics

Great mix

Loved it

Another good song with a good message. I really liked the musical break in that last chorus. Like mentioned above, I also thought the harmonies were competing a little with the lead vocal. You've been writing some good stuff lately - keep 'em coming.

Another good one, Ronnie. When I consider how many fine, heartfelt songs you have contributed to this forum in the few short years I've been involved, Jn 7:38 comes to mind. More power to you, brother.

Good song Ronnie... Vocals sound great.

“I want to be a first responder,
a person you can lean on,
with the troubles in this life.”

We really like this and that kind of compassion is good for the giver as well as the recipient.

Nice one, Ronnie!
