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 it and put it 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 is 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)
