The First Time |
| 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 |
