(Verse 1)
Formed
in
the
desert
from
acacia
wood,
Overlayed
in
gold
where
the
glory
stood,
Cherubim
wings
stretched
out
in
the
light,
Covering
the
secrets
hidden
from
sight.
Inside
was
the
manna,
the
law
written
deep,
The
rod
that
had
budded,
a
promise
to
keep. (
Chorus)
Here
at
the
Mercy
Seat,
glory
descends,
Where
holy
justice
and
broad
mercy
blend!
Fire
in
the
sanctuary,
power
on
the
throne,
The
God
of
the
Covenant
makes
Himself
known! (
Verse 2)
No
human
hands
could
touch
what
was
pure,
A
witness
of
grace
that
would
always
endure.
Carried
on
poles
through
the
wilderness
sands,
Splitting
the
waters
into
promised
lands.
The
walls
of
Jericho
fell
at
the
sound,
When
the
Ark
of
His
presence
marched
over
the
ground! (
Bridge)
No
longer
in
gold,
no
longer
in
stone,
Through
Christ
the
Messiah,
His
presence
is
known!
The
veil
has
been
torn,
the
glory
broke
free,
The
Ark
of
the
Spirit
is
living
in
me! (
Outro)
Holy,
Holy...
Presence
divine,
The
Covenant
Keeper
is
forever
mine.
Holy,
Holy…
Presence
divine,
The
Covenant
Keeper
is
forever
mine.
Glory
and
honour,
dominion
and
power,
To
Jesus
our
King,
this
very
hour!
The
veil
has
been
torn,
the
way
is
now
clear,
Through
Jesus
our
Saviour,
we
draw
near.
No
longer
in
shadows,
no
longer
apart,
The
living
God's
presence
now
dwells
in
our
hearts!
Holy!
Holy!
Holy!
The
Lord
God
Almighty!
Worthy!
Worthy!
Worthy!
The
Lamb
who
was
slain!
From
the
Ark
to
the
Cross,
From
the
Cross
to
the
throne,
Jesus,
forever,
You
reign
alone!
Your
covenant
stands,
Your
mercy
remains,
Your
glory
forever
and
ever
shall
reign!
You
are
holy!
You
are
worthy!
The
Ark
of
the
Covenant
points
us
to
You!
Jesus…
Jesus…
Our
Mercy
Seat…
Our
Living
Hope…
Our
King
eternal!
Holy,
Holy…
Presence
divine…
Forever
and
ever…
Amen!
Holy,
Holy…
Presence
divine…
Forever
and
ever…
Amen!
