River of Mercy

Verse 1

Kneeling

Cold stone floors

Heavy wooden doors open wide

Breath rises like incense in the rafters

Holy

Holy water on my forehead

Washing away the dust of a long week

Stains on my skin

Gone

Chorus

Take me higher to the throne

To the throne

To the throne

Lift my spirit from the bone

From the bone

From the bone

Your mercy is a river flowing down

Your mercy is a river flowing down

Post-Chorus

Alleluia

Alleluia

Alleluia

Verse 2

Quiet

Silver chalice

Bread broken for the hungry

I am starving for a single glimpse

Father

Hear my heavy heart

Listen to the sound of shifting pews

Paper thin hopes

Ascending

Chorus

Take me higher to the throne

To the throne

To the throne

Lift my spirit from the bone

From the bone

From the bone

Your mercy is a river flowing down

Your mercy is a river flowing down

Bridge

Light through the glass

Gold and crimson

Filling up the empty spaces

Filling up the broken places

Filling up the weary faces

I am found

I am whole

I am home

Chorus

Take me higher to the throne

To the throne

To the throne

Lift my spirit from the bone

From the bone

From the bone

Your mercy is a river flowing down

Your mercy is a river flowing down

Post-Chorus

Alleluia

Alleluia

Alleluia

Outro

Amen

Amen

It is finished

Amen
