Mercy Seat

Written by: Laura Hackett Park

Verse 1

Abba I run to your mercy seat 

I know Jesus made a way for me

I feel the warmth 

I know I’m wanted here

Abba You see and I’m laid bare and known

But oh so thankful I can come 

The precious blood of Your Son 

Has washed me clean again


Chorus 1

I get lost in the shuffle of a crowd 

But I feel I was made to stand out 

Will You find me? 

I walked through Your open door 


Verse 2

Abba I see that the table is set

And You welcome me to come and sit

I fill my plate

For hunger has brought me home 

Your word is oh so sweet to me

You are stronger than my enemies

They try to come and pull me down

There is no day they’re not around 


Chorus 2

But I find that I ran here again

To Your love that just won’t relent

To a fire that cannot be quenched

I’m known

Yeah, I find that I ran here again

To Your love that just won’t relent

To a fire that cannot be quenched

I’m known


Verse 3

And I want to be with You oh so much

That I won’t give shame another thought

You reach for me; my spirit responds again

You give Your presence to guard me here

No time, no space, no hidden fear

Could pull me from my place before Your throne

I know I’m wanted here


Chorus 3

I get lost in the ocean of Your love

I get full at the table of God 

And I know there’s always enough for me 

Yeah 

I get lost in the ocean of Your love

I get full at the table of God 

And I know there’s always enough for me 


Outro

Abba I run to Your mercy seat 

I know Jesus made a way for me

I feel the warmth 

I know I’m wanted here
