[Em] Approach my [F] soul
[C] Mercy seemed [F] where [C] holy one
[F] _ [C] Helpless [G] me the [A] mercy seat
[Am] Biblically was part of the [C] Ark of the Covenant in the Old [F] Testament, and that's [C] where the high priest [F] would sprinkle
[C] _ [G] Blood from a sacrificial bull and this would [Am] be an offering of atonement if we're being honest
[Em] We all have this [F] longing for an advocate [C] a lot of the [F] songs on my side of the EP
[C] Sort of have [G] this hint of desperation in them a [Dm] little bit Oh God
Or at your [Am] mercy to me _ _ [Em] _ _ _
my
[Dm] That's essentially what the mercy seat means is sort of seeking [C] this atonement seeking this [G] this rescue

The _ days [Gm] it burns my soul
[D] The tone of my EP the war
[Em] _ _
Is essentially the
Understanding that we are we're in [Eb] sort of a battle [A] old spirituals
And [Em] I would say hymns have [C] very much [D] impacted the way that I write you get a sense of
emotion with the spiritual this [Bb] like haunting yet like
[D] Desperation my [Dm] desire is to [G] to sing with emotion because [D] there's there's something to be told here

[G] _ _ [F] _ [D] _ [F] _ [G] _ [F] _
[G] Recorded it all live at the 930 and so
It was all about the emotion so often in the Old Testament
[D] God tells us people who just remember remember what I've done for you this whole record [C] is sort of that [G] pointing [D] back remember remember
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ Two songs on the record that are that aren't my original lyrics [Dbm] we did a [Abm] version
[E] Rock of Ages, and I didn't want to change anything about it [Abm] really _ _
I think [Ebm] a line from from Rock of Ages that is
Is like [Abm] penetrated my heart that just sticks with [Eb] me is [E] is a line
I believe in the the third verse it says [B] foul to the fountain fly wash me Savior
[Gb] Or I die to me that [Abm] just the way he plays with words
Like that and [Gb] just kind of makes his point in a very [E] beautiful

Song absent from [Abm] flesh [D] is originally a text [E] from Ivan Watts
Looking at a world of suffering where we battle against our flesh and that thought of being done with that [B] one day
The [Em] chorus is this really hopeful [D] thing of it will be [E] with God and [Gbm] glory forever
Ones [E] round my hands are [B] bro
_ _ [E] Introduced it to the church and almost right away
[B] It was kind of really surprising [Em] to me right away people [A] took to [E] it and people started [B] singing it at the top of their lungs
The thing you had to [Em] remember too in this and we hope the listeners realize too is that each of us [A] are both big fans
Of one another it's nice to sort of [Em] release something together
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Abm] Man came to the earth
[C] Open his arms to the children of the he was singing a new song.
Oh, hey, come on
I'll show you the way it was a good day when the Lord came
[Fm] Well, you know it was [C] a good day
[G] Sojourn music which is sort of how we're releasing [Ab] this this [Cm] record.
It's more than just making music for our local church
