Audrey Assad's song reflects on God's creative power, humanity's fall, and redemption through Jesus Christ. It begins with the Genesis account of God speaking light into darkness and creating humanity in His image. The lyrics then move to the incarnation of the Word, Jesus, who dwelt among us, and His sacrificial death as the Lamb of God. The recurring chorus emphasizes God's mercies being new every morning, drawing from Lamentations 3:22-23. The song culminates at the cross, where the singer finds spiritual sight and life. It is a meditative piece that weaves together creation, fall, and redemption, highlighting God's faithful love and grace.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

In the beginning, you hovered over the water

You broke an unbroken silence

You spoke light into darkness

And there was light


In the beginning, we were made in your image

And we were naked without shame

Till we fell for the darkness

And there was night


Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning

Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning


In the beginning, there was the Word and he was God

And the Word was with God

And he dwelt among us

And there was life


Oh, in the beginning, the Lamb of God was broken

And his blood was poured out

For the sins of the world

And there was life


Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning

Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning

Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning

Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning


At the cross, at the cross

Where I first saw your light

At the cross, at the cross

I received my sight

At the cross, at the cross

Where you laid down your life


Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning

Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning

Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning

Your mercies are new

Your mercies are new

New every morning
