V1
Standing at the edge
Of the sea of eternity
Life flows by as waves
Of time crash down on me
As the tide goes streaming past
I try my best to stand
And Your glory hold me up
Above this house made out of sand
Chorus
Because You first loved me
I can stand in grace tomorrow
I can thrive in any change
And I can learn and love and grow
Because You first loved me.
V2
Starting up this cliff
The wall of impossibility
The wind pulls at my back
To see me soaring free
As the mountain reaches high
I land upon its peak
And Your glory hold me up
As Your face is all I seek
Chorus
Because You first loved me
I can stand in grace tomorrow
I can thrive in any change
And I can learn and love and grow
Because You first loved me.
V3
Standing at the door
To the throne room of the King
The Lord of Love has welcomed me
With the long songs that You sing
And my heart begins to beat
As I feel myself adored
And Your glory hold me up
As my heartbeat matches Yours
Chorus
Because You first loved me
I can stand in grace tomorrow
I can thrive in any change
And I can learn and love and grow
Because You first loved me
I can stand in grace tomorrow
I can thrive in any change
And I can learn and love and grow
Because You first loved me
Bridge
I can love; I can laugh;
I can dance through this world.
Because You first loved me.
I can spin; I can soar;
I can rise upon the wind.
Because You first loved me.
(repeat Bridge twice, repeat chorus)
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
