Verse 1:
C#
Day after day
Ab
I try to explain You
F#
Like I can contain You
In so many words
C#
You are the ocean
Ab
And I'm on the shore line
F#
Thinking I know You
Like You could be learned
Pre-Chorus:
F# Ab
It's so amazing
F# Ab F#
That You'd ever save me
Chorus:
C#
I thought I knew You're face
Ab
I thought I tasted grace
F#
But I have never felt anything close to this
C#
Just when I'd seen it all
Ab
New mercy breaks the door
F#
With my eyes opened wide
C#
It feels like the first time, first time
Ab F#
It feels like the first time, first time
Verse 2:
C#
After all of my searching

All of my reaching

I'm left with nothing
Nothing of worth
C#
You treasure the broken

Over and over
F#
Give me a hope that can never be earned

Your love for me is healing, You're God
Chorus:
C#
I thought I knew You're face
Ab
I thought I tasted grace
F#
But I have never felt anything close to this

New mercy breaks the door
F#
With my eyes opened wide
C#
I feel alive for the first time, first time

Just like the first time
