Intro:
C#5  Ab5  F#5  F#5

Verse 1:
C#5
Day after day
Ab5
I try to explain You
F#5               
Like I can contain You

In so many words
C#5
You are the ocean
Ab5
And I'm on the shore line
F#5
Thinking I know You

Like You could be learned

Pre-Chorus:
F#5      Ab5
  It's so amazing
F#5      Ab5         F#5
  That You'd ever save me

Chorus:
C#5
I thought I knew You're face
Ab5
I thought I tasted grace
F#5
But I have never felt anything close to this
C#5
Just when I'd seen it all
Ab5
New mercy breaks the door
F#5
With my eyes opened wide
C#5
It feels like the first time, first time
Ab5                                    F#5
  It feels like the first time, first time

Verse 2:
C#5
After all of my searching
Ab5
All of my reaching
F#5
I'm left with nothing

Nothing of worth
C#5
You treasure the broken
Ab5
Over and over
F#5
Give me a hope that can never be earned

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

Bridge:
C#5
And You're beauty, no eye has seen
Ab5
Your majesty, overwhelm me
F#5                                  C#5
Your love for me is healing, You're God

Chorus:

C#5
I thought I knew You're face
Ab5
I thought I tasted grace
F#5
But I have never felt anything close to this
C#5
Just when I'd seen it all
Ab5
New mercy breaks the door
F#5
With my eyes opened wide
C#5
I feel alive for the first time, first time
Ab5                                    F#5
  It feels like the first time, first time
C#5                                   Ab5
I can see for the first time, first time
   F#5                      C#5
Just like the first time
