The First Time

Day after day
I try to explain You
Like I can contain You
In so many wordsBut You are the ocean
And I'm on the shoreline
Thinking I know You
Like You could be learnedIt's so amazing
That You'd ever save meI 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 timeAfter all of my searching
And all of my reaching
I'm left with nothing
Nothing of worthYou treasure the broken
Over and over
Give me a hope
That can never be earnedIt's still amazing
That You'd ever save meI 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 timeAnd Your beauty
No eye has seen
Your majesty overwhelming
Your love for me
Is healing oh GodI 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
I feel the light for the first time, first time
Just like the first time, first time
I can see for the first time, first time
It's just like the first time
