“The First Place” is a worship song centered on putting God first in every part of life, and this The First Place chord chart gives guitar players a simple way to lead it in a worship setting. While it may not be as widely known as some modern worship songs, it carries a strong and meaningful message through the lyric, “So You must be in all things the first place.”
The chords are straightforward and repeat throughout most of the song, making it approachable for acoustic guitar or a full band. Because of the reflective arrangement and lyrical focus, the emphasis stays on worship atmosphere and supporting the message rather than technical playing. Once you have the progression down, it’s more about feel and consistency than anything difficult musically. This chart is available in the key of D.
