Lyrics

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


Chorus
I thought I knew Your face
I thought I'd tasted grace
But I've 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


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


Chorus


Bridge
Your beauty
No eye has seen
Your majesty overwhelming
Your love for me
Is healing oh God
