Joseph Habedank - Deeper Oceans
Those past regrets, the things you've done
The worst of you -you hope nobody sees
They're laying there like heavy stones
It seems to grow the more you throw
You're thinking there's no water that's this deep
But there's no sea that's quite like this
These are waves of His forgetfulness
He's the God who digs deeper oceans
He can carve it even lower
And take it farther from the shore
Just when you thought
That these waters couldn't hold 'em
His grace shows up to show you
He's the God who digs deeper oceans
Hard to believe, you can't explain
How this much guilt and this much shame
Is suddenly just gone without a trace
But that's just mercy rich and sweet
That leaves us singing glory be!
What love is this -our sins have been erased!
'Cause there's no sea that's quite like this
These are waves of His forgetfulness...
Forever they are cast away
They'll never see the light of day
Hear the grateful and forgiven stand and say...
He's the God who digs deeper oceans
He can carve it even lower
And take it farther from the shore
Just when you thought
That these waters couldn't hold 'em
His grace shows up to show you
He's the God who digs deeper oceans
