Mercy on the Throne

[Verse] Morning came oh feelin' strong Sat me down where I belong On the seat made just for me With a challenge to set me free [Verse 2] Strainin' hard with all my might Pushed and fought through darkest night Felt the tear oh Lord it burned Lesson in patience I had learned [Chorus] Mercy on the throne tonight Groaning from the morning light Wiping tears and crimson stains Faithful in my rugged pains [Bridge] Bled and struggled but did not yield On that seat where truth revealed Pain and sorrow in the fight Glory found in morning light [Verse 3] Sang a hymn to pass the time Prayed for peace and soothing balm Though it hurt my spirit soared On this throne I praised the Lord [Chorus] Mercy on the throne tonight Groaning from the morning light Wiping tears and crimson stains Faithful in my rugged pains
