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...
