Lyrics O the Depths - Attalus

O the Depths

Swimming through a merciful ocean;
Through a world now in motion
There’s breath in my lungs
Currents sweep above and beside me,
I feel them rise up inside me
New life has begun
Waiting in the wake of my worst crimes;
I’m awake for the first time,
Though I’m finely at rest
Waiting in the wake of your pardon
Back again to the garden
I was meant to possess
Closer to the heart of the mystery
To the cradle of history
To the wellspring of life
Closure on this world of pretence
Here my real world begins
And at last I’m alive
Swimming through an infinite ocean
My heart full of emotion
Mercy flows in the waves
Currents sweep above and behind me
Never cease to remind me
I’m a debtor to grace
Thinking in the calm and the silence
So much deeper than science
'Til my feet hit the ground
Drowning in the words You have spoken
In this vow still unbroken
To the end it resounds
Closer to the heart of the mystery
To the cradle of history
To the wellspring of life
Closure on this world of pretence
Here’s where my world begins
And at last I’m alive
Closer to the heart of the story
To the part about glory
To the truth about God
Closure on this world of burden
Here’s where I really matter
'Cause I’m with you again
O the depths of mercy
It has no bounds
I’m lost and found
O the depths of Your sea,
Grace with out end
I’m safe within
O the depths of mercy
It has no bounds
I’m washed — I’m lost and found
O the depths of Your sea
Grace with out end
I’m safe within
O the depths of mercy
It has no bounds
I’m lost and found
O the depths of Your sea,
Grace with out end
I’m safe within
Standing on the shore of my fathers
In the heart of these waters,
Grace has given me pass
Father, to the arms of my maker
To my refuge;
my anchor
This is heeded at last
