Day after day
|
I try to explain You
|
Like I can contain You in so many words
|
You are the ocean
|
And I'm on the shoreline
|
Thinking I know You like You could be learned
|
|
It's so amazing that You'd ever save me
|
|
I thought I knew Your face
|
I thought I tasted grace
|
But I had never felt anything close to this
|
Just when I'd seen it all
|
New mercy breaks the dawn
|
With my eyes open wide
|
It feels like the first time, first time
|
It feels like the first time, first time
|
|
After all of my searching
|
All of my reaching
|
I'm left with nothing
|
Nothing of worth
|
You treasure the broken
|
Over and over
|
Give me a hope that could never be earned
|
|
It's still amazing that You'd ever save me
|
|
I thought I knew Your face
|
I thought I tasted grace
|
But I had never felt anything close to this
|
Just when I'd seen it all
|
New mercy breaks the dawn
|
With my eyes open wide
|
It feels like the first time, first time
|
It feels like the first time, first time
|
|
Your beauty no eye has seen
|
Your majesty overwhelming
|
Your love for me is healing oh God
|
|
I thought I knew Your face
|
I thought I tasted grace
|
But it was nothing like this
|
Just when I'd seen it all
|
New mercy breaks the dawn
|
With my eyes open wide
|
I feel alive for the first time, first time
|
Just like the first time, first time
|
|
I can see for the first time, first time
|
Feels just like the first time
|
