Better Than I Thought
by Zahriya Zachary

Album: Better Than I Thought - Single

Verse 1
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 Ya
But 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

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

Chorus
Hallelujah, I thought I knew Ya
But 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
You're better, better

Bridge
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
But Your grace isn't shallow, it's more like the deep end
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
But You're better, You're better, You're better
Oh, You're better, You're better, You're better

Chorus
Hallelujah, I thought I knew You
But 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
You're better, You're better, You're better
Oh, You're better, You're better, You're better
Than I thought
