Doorkeeper
Finding Mercy: A Doorkeeper's Journey
Lyrics
I pushed my way into this room tonight
I forcefully entered this room tonight
There's no way I'll leave without a fight
I am determined to stay and won't leave easily
I came to lay it all down, lay it all down at your feet
I've come to express everything, lay it all down at your feet
I came to lay it all down, lay it all down at your feet
Reiteration of the intent to lay everything down at your feet
I called you from my place beside the road
I called you from my place beside the road, feeling stuck
I can't leave but there's no place to go
I can't leave, and there seems to be no alternative
If I could lay it all down, lay it all down at your feet
If possible, I would surrender everything at your feet
If I could lay it all down, lay it all down at your feet
Reiteration of the desire to lay everything down at your feet
I'd find mercy, I'd find mercy
Expressing a hope to find mercy
I'd find mercy poured out on me
Envisioning mercy being poured out on oneself
I'd find mercy, I'd find mercy
Repetition of the desire to find mercy
I'd find mercy poured out on me
Imagining mercy being poured out on oneself
Poured out on me
Emphasizing the idea of mercy being poured out
You looked for me when sin it had me bound
Acknowledging that the person looked for them in times of sin
You ran to me when no one stayed around
Highlighting that the person ran to them when others didn't stay
You said lay it all down, lay it all down at Your feet
Referring to the person's advice to lay everything down at His feet
You said lay it all down, lay it all down at Your feet
Reiteration of the guidance to lay everything down at His feet
I found mercy, I found mercy
Expressing that they found mercy
I found mercy poured out on me
Describing the experience of mercy being poured out on oneself
I found mercy, I found mercy
Repetition of the statement that they found mercy
I found mercy poured out on me
Continuation of describing mercy being poured out on oneself
Poured out on me
Emphasizing the idea of mercy being poured out
Let me be a doorkeeper
Expressing a desire to be a doorkeeper
Let me see the captives free
Asking to witness the liberation of captives
Let me be a doorkeeper in your beauty
Reiteration of the desire to be a doorkeeper in God's beauty
Let me be a doorkeeper
Repeating the desire to be a doorkeeper
Let me wash the floors round here
Expressing a willingness to do humble tasks like washing floors
Let me be doorkeeper in your beauty
Reiteration of the desire to be a doorkeeper in God's beauty
One day here is better than years
Stating that one day in God's presence is better than years elsewhere
Of everything else but You
Affirming that God is superior to everything else
Let me be a doorkeeper
Repeating the desire to be a doorkeeper
Let me see the captives free
Reiterating the wish to witness the freedom of captives
Let me be a doorkeeper in your beauty
Restating the desire to be a doorkeeper in God's beauty
Let me be a doorkeeper
Repeating the desire to be a doorkeeper
Let me wash the floors round here
Expressing readiness to perform humble tasks in God's beauty
Let me be a doorkeeper in your beauty
Reiteration of the desire to be a doorkeeper in God's beauty
