05. Mercy in the Dust

Pilgrim, Press On
by Chelsea Hamshaw
       
Lyrics:

God so loved this barren world, he gave his only son
to walk in dust and ash and rust, so heaven here may come
Nails did pierce his holy hands and feet
that the dust of man might heaven taste and meet
Behold him on the mercy seat, he bears the dreaded curse
for sin’s demand is only blood poured out on the dust of earth
Nails did pierce his holy hands and feet
that our unworthy souls might know his peace
And from my stricken heart with tears, two wonders I confess:
the wonder of redeeming love and my unworthiness.
I cling to thee, the cross my only plea
Upon the cross of Jesus, mine eyes at times can see
the very dying form of one who suffered there for me
Nails did pierce his holy hands and feet
that my unworthy soul might know my king
And from my stricken heart with tears, two wonders I confess:
the wonder of redeeming love and my unworthiness.
I cling to thee, the cross my only plea
I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place:
I ask no other sunshine than the radiance of His face;
Nails did pierce his holy hands and feet
that heaven’s glory now may dwell in me
And from my stricken heart with tears, two wonders I confess:
the wonder of redeeming love and my unworthiness.
I cling to thee, the cross my only plea
(Behold the Son will come again to reign upon His throne
what can I claim upon that day, but Jesus’ blood alone?
Nails did pierce his holy hands and feet that my unworthy soul might know my king)
