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
