The First Time
Mercyme

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
