C Csus2 Am7 C
I know that I fell victim to my wicked eye
C Csus2 Am7 C
I know that I've been chasing every little lie

For keeping one foot in the garden,
F
And one foot in the grave
C Csus2 Am7 C
But the sweetest place I know lies just behind the veil
C Csus2 Am7 C
There I find that you cover every time I fail
C Csus2 Am7 C
And there I see the proof that You're merciful to man
Am F
For if You were to keep a record I know I could never stand.
Dm F
Instead you lead me to a place where there's healing in your hand
There at Your...
C G
Mercy Seat

Oh, I love Your Mercy Seat
For there you cover
F Am F Am

F
And every dreamer that I woke
I see that I have hidden every thought of You

And still You hold a place where atonement can be made
Where blood falls from Your finger and the debtor's debt is paid.
The broken man is mended and the lowly man is saved.

C Csus2 Am7 C
There just behind the veil,
C Csus2 Am7 C
the sweetest work gets done
C Csus2 Am7 C
And each and every time I fail,
C Csus2 Am7 C
You cover every one
Dm F
I can't go over, You know I can't go under
Dm F
You tear the veil away and lead me to the wonder of Your...
