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.

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.

“I want to be a first responder,

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

Nice one, Ronnie!
