When the darkness crept and overshadowed the sun
We were buried in the sickness and sin had begun
We were thirsty
We were tired
But God said, "come" and despite our condition
Light now shines where the dark had convinced us
That no man tastes and no man sees

Instead of repaying us what we deserve, or according to our
sin and the wrath that we've earned,
He lifted in and put on his Son

So down came Love, the right hand of God
the man called Christ,
and He swallowed it up
that all men taste and see:

The Lord gracious, slow to anger,
Rich in love
He's good, so good to us (x2)

If my righteousness is filthy rags then
Your's is a shield about my chest
And when Your righteous cry You hear
And when your voice breaks through the noice and confusion
responding to my lowly position
I hear it and I feel You and I know that:

chorus

(o taste and see that the Lord is good, His mercies endure forever)
