Mercy Seat |
| I know that I fell victim to my wicked eye |
| I know that I’ve been chasing every little lie |
| I’m hungry as a prisoner, I’m tired as a slave |
| For keeping one foot in the garden, |
| And one foot in the grave |
| But the sweetest place I know |
| Lies just behind the veil |
| There I find that you cover every time I fail |
| And there I see the proof that You’re merciful to man |
| For if You were to keep a record I know I could never stand. |
| Instead you lead me to a place where there’s healing in your hand |
| There at Your… |
| Mercy Seat |
| Oh, I love Your Mercy Seat |
| For there you cover |
| Every lie I spoke and every promise that I broke |
| And every dreamer that I woke |
| I see that I have hidden every thought of You |
| I know my crimes are many, and my sacrifices few |
| And still You hold a place where atonement can be made |
| Where blood falls from Your finger and the debtor’s debt is paid. |
| The broken man is mended and the lowly man is saved. |
| There at Your… |
| There just behind the veil, the sweetest work gets done |
| And each and every time I fail, You cover every one |
| I can’t go over, You know I can’t go under |
| You tear the veil away and lead me to the wonder of Your… |
