O the Depths Songtext
von Attalus

Swimming through a merciful ocean
Through a world now in motion
There′s breath in my lungs

Currents sweep above and beside me,
I feel them rise up inside me
New life has begun

Waiting in the wake of my worst crimes
I'm awake for the first time,
Though I′m finely at rest

Waiting in the wake of your pardon
Back again to the garden
I was meant to possess

Closer to the heart of the mystery
To the cradle of history
To the wellspring of life
Closure on this world of pretence
Here my real world begins
And at last I'm alive


Swimming through an infinite ocean
My heart full of emotion
Mercy fills in the waves

Currents sweep above and behind me
Never cease to remind me
I'm a debtor to grace

Thinking in the calm and the silence
So much deeper than science
′Til my feet hit the ground

Drowning in the words You have spoken
In this vow still unbroken
To the end it resounds

Closer to the heart of the mystery
To the cradle of history
To the wellspring of life
Closure on this world of pretence
Here′s where my world begins
And at last I'm alive


Closer to the heart of the story
To the part about glory
To the chief end of man
Closure on this world of matter
Here′s where I really matter
'Cause I′m with You again

O the depths of mercy
It has no bounds
I'm lost and found
O the depths of Your sea,
Grace with out end
I′m safe within

O the depths of mercy
It has no bounds
I'm lost, I'm lost and found
O the depths of Your sea
Grace with out end
I′m safe within

O the depths of mercy
It has no bounds
I′m lost and found
O the depths of Your sea,
Grace with out end
I'm safe within

Standing on the shore of my fathers
In the heart of these waters
Grace has given me pass
Running to the arms of my maker
To my refuge, my anchor
This is Eden at last
This is Eden at last
This is Eden at last
