Sunvera Scott — THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME

So how can I be silent, how can I ever doubt your name,
When I look back at my yesterday,
My heart has only this to say?
This is not the first time you rescued me,
This is not the first time you made a way.
I've got testimony after testimony, miracles after miracles.
This is not the first time you rescued me,
This is not the first time you made a way.
I've got testimony after testimony, miracles after miracles.
We share a history, a sacred story,
Written in the quiet places of my heart.
And when my soul is dry and searching, you are the fountain,
The wellspring where I start, my living water.
So how can I be silent, how can I ever doubt your name,
When I look back at my yesterday,
My heart has only this to say?
This is not the first time you rescued me,
This is not the first time you've made a way.
I've got testimony after testimony, miracles after miracles.
This is not the first time you rescued me,
This is not the first time you've made a way.
I've got testimony after testimony, miracles after miracles.
One story of grace, then another.
You've been my shield and my cover.
You did it before, you will do it again.
Your mercy is running over.
You did it before, you will do it again.
This is not the first time you rescued me,
This is not the first time you made a way.
I've got testimony after testimony, miracles after miracles.
This is not the first time you rescued me,
This is not the first time you made a way.
I've got testimony after testimony, miracles after miracles.
