Approach my soul the mercy seat lyrics

Approach my soul the mercy seat

Where Jesus answers prayer,

For none can perish there.

Your promise is my only plea;

You gather broken souls,

O Healer, draw me close.

Bowed down beneath a weight of sin

By war without and fears within:

Oh, the cross, oh the cross,

The cross is my confession.

You are my shield, and now in Christ

I'll face my every foe

And tell them they have died.

O wondrous love! eternal life,

As we all plead Your name, all sinners such as I.

By grace received, my soul be still;

Your work in me, both power and will

For I believe in God the Father, and in His Son.

There is no other,

His very life, living inside.

(x4)

This I confess, my righteousness,

His very life, living inside

Approach my soul the mercy seat

Where Jesus answers prayer,

For none can perish there.

Your promise is my only plea;

You gather broken souls,

O Healer, draw me close.

Bowed down beneath a weight of sin

By war without and fears within:

Oh, the cross, oh the cross,

The cross is my confession.

You are my shield, and now in Christ

I'll face my every foe

And tell them they have died.

O wondrous love! eternal life,

As we all plead Your name, all sinners such as I.

By grace received, my soul be still;

Your work in me, both power and will

For I believe in God the Father, and in His Son.

There is no other,

His very life, living inside.

(x4)

This I confess, my righteousness,

His very life, living inside
