Intro: C# G# F# F# Verse 1:

C#
Day after day

G#
I try to explain You

F#               
Like I can contain You

In so many words

C#
You are the ocean

G#
And I'm on the shore line

F#
Thinking I know You

Like You could be learned Pre-Chorus:

F#      G#
  It's so amazing

F#      G#         F#
  That You'd ever save me

Chorus:

C#
I thought I knew You're face

G#
I thought I tasted grace

F#
But I have never felt anything close to this

C#
Just when I'd seen it all

G#
New mercy breaks the door

F#
With my eyes opened wide

C#
It feels like the first time, first time

G#                                    F#
  It feels like the first time, first time

Verse 2:

C#
After all of my searching

G#
All of my reaching

F#
I'm left with nothing

Nothing of worth

C#
You treasure the broken

G#
Over and over

F#
Give me a hope that can never be earned

PRE-CHORUS CHORUS Bridge:

C#
And You're beauty, no eye has seen

G#
Your majesty, overwhelm me

F#                                  C#
Your love for me is healing, You're God

Chorus:

C#
I thought I knew You're face

G#
I thought I tasted grace

F#
But I have never felt anything close to this

C#
Just when I'd seen it all

G#
New mercy breaks the door

F#
With my eyes opened wide

C#
I feel alive for the first time, first time

G#                                    F#
  It feels like the first time, first time

C#                                   G#
I can see for the first time, first time

   F#                      C#
Just like the first time
