Lyrics

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 used to walk on a tight rope
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 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 aren't impressed
By the pageant
Your pride isn't tied to my talent
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 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

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've seen 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 lifted
It's light as a feather
My spirit is healing
I thought You were good but

Bridge 2

You're better You're better
You're better
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 You're better
You're better than I thought
