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
C Csus2 Am7 C
I'm hungry as a prisoner, I'm tired as a slave
Am
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
C G
Oh, I love Your Mercy Seat
For there you cover
F Am F Am
Every lie I spoke and every promise that I broke
F
And every dreamer that I woke
I see that I have hidden every thought of You
I know my crimes are many, and my sacrifices few
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.
There at Your...

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...
