Here is another praise chorus from the 1970?s that has stood the test of time: ?Seek Ye First? by Karen Lafferty. The lyrics for this song are taken from Matthew 6:33: ?But seek first God?s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.? (WEB). Capturing the spirit of these lyrics, this quiet and reflective arrangement encourages contemplation and is a perfect choice for moments of meditation in any worship service or for private devotions.
