MercyMe - The First Time lyrics
[MercyMe - The First Time lyrics]
Like I can contain You in so many words
But 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'd tasted grace
But, I have never felt anything close to this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the dawn
And 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
And 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
It's still amazing that You'd ever save me
I thought I knew Your face
I thought I'd tasted grace
But, I have never felt anything close to this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the dawn
And with my eyes open wide
It feels like the first time, first time
It feels like the first time, first time
And 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'd tasted grace
But it was nothing like this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the dawn
And with my eyes open wide
It feels like the first time, first time
Just like the first time, first time
I can see for the first time, first time
Just like the first time
