The Sweetsers - Bethel

Pillar of mercy
Pillar of truth
What have I found here
What must I lose
Broken and battered
But clinging to you
Broken and shattered
But what can I do

I was having a conversation
With a man much wiser than me
The name of this man is Jacob
He was a thief
And I listened to his story
Of a God so bathed in glory
He could barely speak the words at all
Oh he could barely speak the words at all
So he sang

Pillar of mercy
Pillar of truth
What have I found here
What must I lose
Broken and battered
But clinging to you
Broken and shattered
But what can I do

And I was looking for some sort of blessing
That this God of ours would give
And I asked ol' Jacob to tell me where it lives
And the place that he described
Was the Bethel of our lives
The place where promises are held
Oh the place where promises are held
And we sang

Pillar of mercy
Pillar of truth
What have I found here
What must I lose
Broken and battered
But clinging to you
Broken and shattered
But what can I do

And in the middle of our conversation
I broke down and sat in the pew
And I thought of the hope He had given
That I'd be with you
And this blessing yet unseen
Like the mute who starts to sing
Is something only God can do
Oh it's something only God can do
And I'll sing

Pillar of mercy
Pillar of truth
What have I found here
What must I lose
Broken and battered
But clinging to you
Broken and shattered
But what can I do

Oh, pillar of mercy
Pillar of truth
What have I found here
What must I lose
Broken and battered
Broken and shattered
What must I lose
