MERCY SEAT

[Intro – Choir + Piano]
I should’ve paid…
But You stood in my place…

⸻

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I seen my record, I can’t lie, it’s flawed,
Every wrong choice written clear before God.
No excuse, no mask, no hiding the truth,
If justice spoke fully, I’d be lost with the proof.

Every sin had weight, every action a cost,
Every selfish move added up to the loss.
I knew I couldn’t carry that debt on my own,
Too heavy for flesh, too deep to atone.

Then I saw the cross in a different light,
Not just pain — but a sacrifice for my life.
He took what was mine, every guilt, every stain,
So I could stand clean, not bound by the shame.

⸻

[Hook – Choir + Emotion]
Mercy seat… I fall down,
Grace meets me on this ground.
I should’ve paid, but You stepped in,
Now I rise free from sin.

Mercy seat… I’m not the same,
You took the guilt, You took the blame.
Justice called, but mercy spoke,
Chains fell off, now I got hope.

⸻

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it ain’t earned, I could never deserve it,
Still He gave everything just to show me I’m worth it.
That kind of love change how you live every day,
Make you turn from the dark, make you walk in the way.

I used to think grace meant I could stay the same,
Now I know it’s power that rewrite my name.
Not just forgiven, I’m rebuilt inside,
New heart, new path, no need to hide.

So when I fall, I don’t run from His face,
I run to the place where I’m covered in grace.
Not perfect, but I’m changing for real,
‘Cause I felt that mercy, I know that it’s real.

⸻

[Hook – Bigger]
Mercy seat… I fall down,
Grace meets me on this ground…

⸻

[Bridge – Raw Prayer Tone]
You took my place…
I’ll never be the same…
Never…

⸻

[Outro – Choir Fade]
Mercy…
Grace…
