Tell me the story tell me again

That I was a drifter that you welcomed in

Sing me Your mercy sing me that song

That here in your goodness is where I belong


I can hear the echoes of my past

Fading in my Father's eyes

Feels like the first time

I'm really alive

I can hear the ruins of my heart

Learnin' how to beat again

Then suddenly, it sounds like grace to me


Savior You love me just as I was

Grace be Your measure or all that's to come

All in one moment You shift the tone

Oh, you scatter my burdens You steady my

soul


I can hear the echoes of my past

Fading in my Father's eyes

Feels like the first time

I'm really alive

I can hear the ruins of my heart

Learnin' how to beat again

Then suddenly, it sounds like grace to me


Oh how sweet the sound oh how sweet the

sound

Oh how sweet the sound that saved me


Then suddenly

Then suddenly it sounds like grace to me


Oh how sweet the sound oh how sweet the

sound

Oh how sweet the sound that saved me

Oh how sweet the sound oh how sweet the

sound

Oh how sweet the sound that saved me
