Approach My Soul The Mercy Seat

about

I wrote this record as a way of breathing new life into songs I love. My desire was to preserve the original melody and lyrics from these historic songs and present them with new arrangements. The hope is for these songs to be seen with new eyes. To break us out of the monotony that comes with time and to unleash the power of these songs afresh. My musical inspiration for this record came from spending time listening to electronic artists that I love and a desire to keep these songs "small" in production. I wanted to be able to mold everything on my own, free from outside input or expectation. My good friend, Jordan Lucas, plays guitar and sings background vocals on every track. I am incredibly grateful for his friendship and artistry. I could not have done this without his help. My desire was to make something that I love and I hope you love it too. Thanks for listening. - Adam

lyrics

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
where Jesus answers prayer;
there humbly fall before his feet,
for none can perish there.

Thy promise is my only plea;
with this I venture nigh:
thou callest burdened souls to thee,
and such, O Lord, am I.

Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
by Satan sorely pressed,
by war without and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.

Be thou my shield and hiding place,
that, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
and tell him thou hast died.

O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
to bear the cross and shame,
that guilty sinners, such as I,
might plead thy gracious name!
