MERCY SEAT
Words and Music by Steve Richardson, Jeffrey Harpole and Mark Carouthers

In the darkness where everything is unknown
I face the power of sin on my own
I did not know of a place I could go
Where I could find a way to heal my wounded soul

He said that I could come into His presence without fear
Into the Holy Place where His mercy hovers near

1st Chorus
I’m running, I’m running, I’m running to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is calling, He said His grace would cover me
His blood will flow freely and it will provide my healing
I’m running to the mercy seat, I’m running to the mercy seat

Are you living where hope has not been
You’re lost in a curse of a lifetime of sin
Those lovely illusions never come true
But I know where there’s a place of mercy for you

He said that you could come into His presence without fear
Into the Holy Place where His mercy hovers near

2nd Chorus
Come running, come running, come running to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is calling, His grace will be a covering
His blood will flow freely, it will provide the healing
Come running to the mercy seat

Bridge
He said that I could come into His presence without fear
Into the Holy Place where His mercy hovers near

Repeat 1st Chorus
