Deluge - Wash Me
@ 活在當下 制作
I wanna sing of the blood of Jesus
Living and crying for grace
Washing away our deep transgressions
Letting us see face to face
We receive it we receive it
Wash us in the blood
crying from the mercy seat
Demonstrate Your love
come and set the captives free
come and set the captives free
I want to sing of the love of Jesus
Zealous and passionate full of fire
Gently compelling complete surrender
Willing to lay down His life
We receive it we receive it
Wash us in the blood
crying from the mercy seat
Demonstrate Your love
come and set the captives free
Wash us in the blood
crying from the mercy seat
Demonstrate Your love
come and set the captives free
Cleanse my heart and my hands to become

[ar:Johnny Cash]
[00:00.00]Johnny Cash - The Mercy Seat
[00:03.33]It all began when they took me from my home
[00:05.40]And put me on Death Row,
[00:07.05]a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know.
[00:10.34]I began to warm and chill
[00:14.91]To objects and their fields,
[00:17.99]A ragged cup, a twisted mop
[00:20.34]The face of Jesus in my soup
[00:22.97]Those sinister dinner deals
[00:24.27]The meal trolley’s wicked wheels
[00:27.21]A hooked bone rising from my food
[00:30.59]All things either good or ungood.
[00:33.23]And the mercy seat is waiting
[00:35.55]And I think my head is burning
[00:38.40]And in a way I’m yearning
[00:40.46]To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
[00:44.16]An eye for an eye
[00:45.90]And a tooth for a tooth
[00:47.28]And anyway I told the truth
[00:50.53]And I’m not afraid to die.
[00:53.36]I hear stories from the chamber
[01:01.73]Christ was born into a manger
[01:04.56]And like some ragged stranger
[01:06.81]He died upon the cross
[01:08.84]Might I say, it seems so fitting in its way
[01:12.99]He was a carpenter by trade
[01:16.11]Or at least that’s what I’m told
[01:18.63]My kill-hand’s
[01:25.05]tatooed E.V.I.L. across it’s brother’s fist
[01:28.33]That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resit
[01:33.47]In Heaven His throne is made of gold
[01:37.72]The ark of his Testament is stowed
[01:40.58]A throne from which I’m told All history does unfold.
[01:45.05]It’s made of wood and wire
[01:46.98]And my body is on fire
[01:50.06]And God is never far away.
[01:53.46]Into the mercy seat I climb
[01:56.54]My head is shaved, my head is wired
[01:59.24]And like a moth that tries
[02:01.71]To enter the bright eye
[02:03.46]I go shuffling out of life
[02:06.38]Just to hide in death awhile
[02:09.14]And anyway I never lied.
[02:13.39]And the mercy seat is waiting
[02:15.70]And I think my head is burning
[02:18.42]And in a way I’m yearning
[02:20.45]To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
[02:24.44]An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth
[02:28.10]And anyway I told the truth And I’m not afraid to die
[02:32.62]And the mercy seat is burning
[02:35.10]And I think my head is glowing
[02:37.74]And in a way I’m hopin’
[02:39.95]to be done with all this twistin’ of the truth.
[02:43.90]An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth
[02:46.75]And any way there was no proof And I’m not afraid to die
[02:51.95]And the mercy seat is glowing
[02:54.46]And I think my head is smoking
[02:57.22]And in a way I’m hopin’
[02:59.08]to be done with all these looks of disbelief.
[03:02.86]A life for a life And a truth for a truth
[03:06.00]And I’ve got nothin’ left to loose.
[03:08.50]And I’m not afraid to die
[03:11.13]And the mercy seat is smoking
[03:13.58]And I think my head is melting
[03:16.34]And in a way that’s helpin’ to be done with all this twistin’ of the truth
[03:22.83]An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth
[03:25.12]And any way I told the truth
[03:27.76]But I’m afraid I told a lie.
