Song background:

My wife challenged me to write a minor hymn, and my mom said I should write something to a text by John Newton, who wrote Amazing Grace.  Thus, this wonderful hymn was born!

Lyrics: Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
where Jesus answers pray'r;
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 wars 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 say for us, Thou 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.
"Thy tempest tossed soul, now be still,
my promised grace receive;"
'tis Jesus voice; I must, I will,
I can, I do believe.
