The Mercy Seat

Diva, you’ve got all of the angles, which you can and do play
Go from goddess to some kind of dark angel---that’s no good---that’s danger
After all the talk about friendship, it was quite a way down
To where your intentions took me…then you quickly left town!

I need the mercy; the Mercy Seat
I need the grace; to feel complete
I need the strength to wash sadness out today…

Even as the feeling was perfect, and after all of this time
Accused of jealous wanting to control and keep you:  What, caging you to be mine?
You talk to me like I’m another scorned lover, when we’re only just friends
That one cut---felt hot hateful arrows stuck deep under my skin

Now I need mercy, I’m in over my head
To show mercy, then what should I have said?
To be objective, think not much use for that; without my head went my hat
Floating in emotion almost; two days before when I mentioned
               About my unconditional love………I need……one to believe in me

     You know, we’d been through the same subject…seems like dozens of times
Established:  I’d never pressure or ask you for something you can’t provide
     Lots of lip service never will cut it; worse than wasting our time
               Like about all of the good things we said, it’s a shame they’re just lies!

God’s got the mercy, the Mercy Seat; I’ve got a question---I’m asking please God
I need the Real Love to wash sadness out of me…just a small wave
              so I’ll be released---and it’s my unconditional love

The Throne of Mercy, the Mercy Seat; Sea of Emotion is way too deep!
              A small indulgence:  I’m asking please God
              I need Your Unconditional Love
              The Throne of Mercy
              I need Your Unconditional Love
