go on up to the mountain of mercy...

it was not a good day. it was one of those days where nothing really goes wrong, but even less goes right. frustration abounds until it bubbles up and makes you do and say things that just end up making you feel guilty and then more frustrated. but God is good. and for some reason, this morning i woke up with this song in my head. and i needed it in my head all day, because it reminds me of His grace.

go on up to the mountain of mercy
to the crimson perpetual tide
kneel down at the shore
be thirsty no more
go under, and be purified

follow Christ to the Holy mountain
sinner, sorry and wrecked by the fall
cleanse your heart and your soul
in the fountain that flows
for you and for me and for all

at the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
on that beautiful, scandalous night, you and me
were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
on that beautiful, scandalous night

on the hillside you will be delivered
at the foot of the cross, justified
and your spirit restored
by the river that pours
from our blessed Savior's side

at the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
on that beautiful, scandalous night, you and me
were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
on that beautiful, scandalous night

You carry the sin of mankind on Your back
and the sky went black
go on up to the mountain of mercy
to the crimson perpetual tide
kneel down on the shore
be thirsty no more
go under and be purified

at the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
on that beautiful, scandalous night, you and me
were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
on that beautiful, scandalous night
on that beautiful, scandalous night
beautiful, scandalous, miraculous night
