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
