Who Loved You First

(album: Swallow The Ocean - 2013)

Woman, woman I've been there
Every day back to the same old world
You dig so deep but not deep enough
You break your back just to fill your cup
But it's never enough

Fill up your hands with healing water
Give up your past, be lost no longer now
Raise up your flag, lay your guard down, He'll
Shatter the walls that have surrounded you
You know you never have to thirst
Surrender to the One
Who loved you first

Brother, brother have no fear
The Father welcomes back your guilty tears
Oh, you've wrapped yourself in your prodigal shame
Return to Him, He's wiped them all away
And you're free from blame

Fill up your hands with healing water
Give up your past, be lost no longer now
Raise up your flag, lay your guard down, He'll
Shatter the walls that have surrounded you
You know you never have to thirst
Surrender to the One
Who loved you first

Before the world was made
Before time and space
He thought of everything
He loves us, He loves us
You're out there on your own
The Father's waiting for you, come back home

Fill up your hands with healing water
Give up your past, be lost no longer now
Raise up your flag, lay your guard down, He'll
Shatter the walls that have surrounded you, oh

Fill up your hands with healing water
Give up your past, be lost no longer now
Raise up your flag, lay your guard down, He's
Shattered the walls that have surrounded you
You know you never have to thirst
Surrender to the One
Who loved you first
The One who loved you first
The One who loved you first
