THE MERCY SEAT: PLACE OF MEETING WITH GOD
“You shall put this altar in front of the veil that is near the ark of the testimony, in front of the mercy seat that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Broken Bird, the sky is high
Your wings are weak
But when you cry
HE sends HIS winds
HE carries you
Into the Blue
Broken Bird, silenced song
Deep calls to deep
HE hears heart’s groan
HE sends HIS waves
HE carries you
Into the Blue
Take me up, take me up to HIS MERCY SEAT
Lay me there, lay me there at MY FATHER’S FEET
This is THE PLACE that HE said we’d meet
Leave me there in HIS care
Leave me there.
