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
