Katy Snow - Approach My Soul the Mercy Seat

from Christ Is Our Cornerstone (2012) by Gregory Wilbur

/

lyrics

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before His feet,
For none can perish there.
Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,
And such, O Lord, am I. And such, O Lord, am I.

Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed,
By war without and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest.
Be Thou my Shield and hiding Place,
That, sheltered by Thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him Thou hast died! And tell him Thou hast died!

O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead Thy gracious name.
“Poor tempest tossed soul, be still;
My promised grace receive;”
‘Tis Jesus speaks: I must, I will, I can, I do believe. I can, I do believe.
