Swimming through a merciful ocean
Through a world now in motion
There is breath in my lungs
Currents sweep above and beside me
I feel them rise up inside me
New life has begun
Wading in the wake of my worst crimes
I'm awake for the first time
Though I'm finally 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 pretense
Here my real world begins
And at last I'm alive

Swimming through an infinite ocean
My heart full of emotion
Mercy flows in the waves
Currents sweep above and behind me
Never cease to remind me
I'm a debtor to grace
Sinking 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 story
To the part about glory
To the chief end of man
Closure on this world of matter
Here's where I really matter
Because 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 without 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
