About this song

This is Not The First Time You Rescued Me Lyrics

This Is Not The First Time is a Christian song by Sunvera Scott, released on January 1, 2026. Written by Scott, the song comes from a place of looking back and remembering all the ways God has already been there for her. From the opening lines, she talks about how hard it would be to stay quiet or doubt God when her own past gives her so many reasons to believe. Every testimony and every miracle becomes a reminder of what He has done before.

The song also has a very personal side to it. Scott speaks about a shared history with God, calling it a sacred story written in the quiet places of her heart. When she feels spiritually dry or is searching for something to hold on to, she turns to Him as her fountain and wellspring. She also describes Him as her shield and cover, reflecting a deep sense of safety and trust.

By the time the song returns to the repeated “You did it before, You will do it again,” the message feels less like a question and more like a statement of faith. It is about remembering past experiences, being grateful for God’s mercy and choosing to trust Him with whatever comes next.

So How Can I Be Silent
How Can I Ever Doubt Your Name
When I Look Back At My Yesterday
My Heart Is 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 Is 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

Oh, One Story Of Grace Than 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

And 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, Oh
