[Intro - Female]
[00:04.04]He goes first
[00:08.10]He goes first in love
[00:11.90]He goes first in dying
[00:17.49]And that is why I can answer

[01:02.41]I watched them preach it for an hour
[01:05.01]And refuse the heavier word four lines down
[01:10.67]I learned what the verse costs
[01:12.80]When the man receiving it has not bled for you

[Pre-Chorus - Female]
[01:19.11]But you do not say it to me
[01:23.15]You do not have to say it to me
[01:26.73]You go first
[01:29.75]And I find I want to follow

[Chorus - Female]
[01:37.25]I want to
[01:38.81]This is not coerced, this is not extracted
[01:43.11]This is freely as the gospel
[01:46.44]Because you go first in love
[01:51.20]I receive and I offer
[01:54.52]Because you bled before you asked
[01:59.57]The yes is mine to give
[02:03.15]And I give it
[02:06.87]Joyfully

[Verse 2 - Female]
[02:11.68]You die before you lead
[02:13.44]You serve before you stand
[02:15.72]You listen when I speak
[02:17.50]You honor what I am

[02:19.78]You bear the heavier weight
[02:21.82]And never make me carry it
[02:23.82]You take the harder vow
[02:25.68]And never quote it at me

[Pre-Chorus - Female]
[02:27.76]And what I offer back
[02:30.42]Is not what they demanded
[02:32.46]It is what your dying made beautiful to give
[02:36.38]It is the yes that was never theirs to ask for

[Chorus - Female]
[02:42.22]I want to
[02:45.96]I want to
[02:47.56]This is not coerced, this is not extracted
[02:51.89]This is freely as the gospel
[02:55.19]Because you go first in love
[03:00.03]I receive and I offer
[03:03.25]Because you bled before you asked
[03:08.31]The yes is mine to give
[03:11.86]And I give it
[03:15.58]Joyfully

[Bridge - Female]
[03:20.42]The cross is the standard
[03:24.48]The covenant is the floor
[03:28.02]You render Christ to me
[03:31.12]And I render the bride to you
[03:36.12]This is what Paul actually wrote
[03:39.67]Beneath the centuries of misuse
[03:43.75]A tender marriage rendering the gospel
[03:48.07]At the level of one woman's yes

[Chorus - Female]
[03:55.23]I want to
[03:56.73]I want to
[03:58.59]This is not coerced, this is not extracted
[04:02.67]This is freely as the gospel
[04:05.98]Because you go first in love
[04:10.64]I receive and I offer
[04:14.04]Because you bled before you asked
[04:19.12]The yes is mine to give
[04:22.64]And I give it
[04:26.40]Joyfully

[Outro - Female]
[04:30.76]He goes first
[04:32.78]He goes first
[04:34.86]And I follow
[04:37.30]Freely
[04:38.86]He goes first
[04:40.90]And my yes
[04:43.47]Is mine to give
[04:46.97]And I give it
[04:50.71]Joyfully
