The First Time

Day after day I try to explain You 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 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 --- The First Time - MercyMe
