The View From The Rocking Chair

Time has flown since my last post. It just seems the older I get the more time fleets by. This morning I awoke around 4. I don't know why really, but that has occurred the last three or four nights. As I lay in bed quietly listening to my wife's rhythmic breathing, my thoughts moved to a song that we are working on for church, "At Your Mercy Seat". The title caught my eye and I just had to hear it and read the lyrics. What a powerful song.

From every stormy wind that blows, from every swelling tide of woes,

There is a calm, a sure retreat found beneath the mercy seat.

There is a place where Jesus sheds the oil of gladness on our heads,

A place that all beside more sweet; it is the blood bought mercy seat.

Chorus

I will come, I will bow down, pour my burdens at Your feet;

I will come, I will bow down at Your mercy seat.

There is a scene where spirits blend, where friend holds fellowship with friend;

Though sundered far, by faith they meet around one common mercy seat.

Chorus

I will come, I will bow down, pour my burdens at Your feet;

I will come, I will bow down at Your mercy seat.

There on eagles wings we soar, and sin and sense molest no more;

And heaven comes our souls to greet while glory crowns the mercy seat.

Chorus

I will come, I will bow down, pour my burdens at Your feet;

I will come, I will bow down at Your mercy seat.

Have a Great Day
