Mercy at The Mercy Seat

 

From every raging, stormy wind that promises our sails to rend

There is a calm and sure retreat- its found beneath the mercy seat.

 

Where Jesus is, there is a place- of gladness joy, love and grace

A place where all our hopes we meet- His glory crowns the mercy seat!

 

There's mercy at the mercy seat

There's grace sufficient, full and sweet

Forgiveness for our hearts' deceit

Out Lord reigns from His mercy seat.

 

A place where we can go for aid when tempted, desolate, dismayed

in His presence sin finds defeat- there's judgment at the mercy seat.

 

Now there on eagle's wings we soar where time and sense all seem no more

Our Savior's shining face we greet- his glory crowns the mercy seat.

 

There's mercy at the mercy seat

There's grace sufficient, full and sweet

Forgiveness for our hearts' deceit

Out Lord reigns from His mercy seat.
