[Intro]
Check your birth
[Refrain]
When first is last
(and last is first)
…. the meek shall inherit the earth
[Bridge]
Check your birth
(What’s your worth)
[Refrain]
(Future’s past)
Then first is last
(and last is first)
…. the meek shall inherit the earth
(For what it’s worth)
…. the meek shall inherit the earth
[Break]
Thought greed would succeed?
(Begin to think again)
[Bridge]
Check your birth
(What’s your worth)
Do you uplift the gift
(Of birth on earth)

Now first is last

…. the meek inherit the earth
(For what it’s worth)
…. the meek shall inherit the earth

(Here hear:)
First is last
(Last is first)

(No longer weak)
…. the meek inherit the earth
(A reign of love)
Rains from above

…. the meek shall inherit the earth
(Love, love, love)
ABOUT THE SONG: when first is last, and last is first the meek shall inherit the earth
The phrase combines two related concepts from Jesus’ teachings: “the last will be first, and the first last” from the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, and “the meek shall inherit the earth” from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:5). Both concepts refer to a reversal of worldly values, suggesting that the humble and meek will be exalted in God’s kingdom, while those who are proud and powerful in this world will be humbled.
