The First Shall Be Last
Matthew 19:27-30, Mark 10:28-31

The first shall be last,
The last shall be first,
When Jesus sets up His kingdom on the earth.
The last shall be first,
The first shall be last,
Be faithful to the end,
You'll be rewarded for your task.

Then answered Peter and said unto Jesus.
We have forsaken all and followed Thee,
What shall we have?

Then Jesus answered and said unto them.
When the Son of Man shall sit in the throne,
Of His glory
You also shall sit upon twelve thrones,
Judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

The first shall be last,
The last shall be first,
When Jesus sets up His kingdom on the earth.
The last shall be first,
The first shall be last,
Be faithful to the end,
You'll be rewarded for your task.

There is no one that hath left house or brethren,
Or sisters or father or mother or wife,
Or children or lands,
For My names's sake.
But shall receive an hundred fold,
And shall inherit everlasting life.

The first shall be last,
The last shall be first,
When Jesus sets up His kingdom on the earth.
The last shall be first,
The first shall be last,
Be faithful to the end,
You'll be rewarded for your task.
