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 shore line
Thinking I know You
Like You could be learned
It's so amazing
That You'd ever save me
I thought I knew You're face
I thought I tasted grace
But I have never felt anything close to this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the door
With my eyes opened 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 can never be earned
And You're beauty, no eye has seen
Your majesty, overwhelm me
Your love for me is healing, You're God
I thought I knew You're face
I thought I tasted grace
But I have never felt anything close to this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the door
With my eyes opened wide
I feel alive for the first time, first time
It feels like the first time, first time
I can see for the first time, first time
Just like the first time
