For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Isaiah 57:15

THE MERCY SEAT: PLACE OF MEETING WITH GOD

Exodus 30:6

“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.

 

Now when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim, so He spoke to him. Numbers  7:89

Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:1

For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God. Hebrews 9:24
