I used to think You were angry
The tone of Your voice is changing
And it sounds more like compassion than contempt
It feels more like it’s for me than against
Verse 2
I walked around on a tightrope
Like if I messed up too bad You might let go
I thought I’d reach the ceiling of Your grace
But You've got more mercy than I’ve got mistakes
Chorus
Hallelujah I thought I knew You
But a You’re so much better than I thought
You’re so much better than I ever could have hoped
Imagined foreseen or fathomed
You're so much better than I thought
You’re so much better (You're better)
Verse 3
You weren't impressed by the pageant
Your pride isn't tied to my talent
And You don't ask for something I can't give
My God You're not a fascist You're a friend
Interlude
You're better better
Bridge 1
Is this what it feels like to walk in Your freedom
To know I’m accepted I’m even believed in
If mercy had limits I would exceed them
For Your grace isn’t shallow
It's more like the deep end
Bridge 2
I thought I could earn it through striving and tears
But I knew the wrong Jesus for so many years
That burden is lifting it’s light as a feather
My spirit is healing I thought You were good
Tag
But You’re better You're better You're better
For You're better You're better You're better
Tag 2
You’re better You're better You're better
Well You're better You're better
You're better than I thought
