  • Love it! May God continue to anoint you and use your choir at Prestonwood!

  • Not a cover of Nick Cave? Well I guess that explains the video summary. I was wondering where you got Jesus's seat from the electric chair.

  • Praise the Lord and pass the MasterCard!!

  • Love the song. Keep up the good work Prestonwood.

    22 Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets. (Luke 6:22.23)

  • Excellent. This is beautiful. I don't understand the negative comments. This is a group of people sincerely singing praise to the Lord God - what's the problem?

    BTW: complaining about how donation dollars are used is ridiculous. If people want to give to the body of Christ that is their decision - what difference does it make how it used? Wasn't it Judas who complained about the oil being poured on Jesus's head - saying it should have been used differently? Think about it.

  • And the mercy seat is waiting

    And I think my head is burning

    And in a way I'm yearning

    To be done with all this measuring of truth

    An eye for an eye

    A tooth for a tooth

    And anyway I told the truth

    And I'm not afraid to die

  • I guess this isn't a Nick Cave cover!

    Holy Rollers crack me up! LOL

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • Amen

  • I like the Mercy Seat of Christ a whole lot more than Nick Cave's Mercy Seat. Nick Cave's is hopeless, cynical and desperate. Christ's is full of hope, restoration, healing, peace, power, forgiveness, joy...

  • I'm Catholic. But still, you don't brainwash people into faith by placing a hot "virgin" to sing with mood lighting and a band that definately "don't" get paid to play music. Stick with Nick Cave's Mercy Seat, or Johnny Cash's cover, evangelical wankers.

  • @conorkilleenorjewboy catholicism will get you into heaven about as quick as being a baptist. denomination doesnt cut it, relationship does. are you saved? not just you but anyone that reads this.. Jesus loves you,,,do you love him? if you do you will love his bride as you will be a part of it. God bless

  • @conorkilleenorjewboy do you feel brainwashed by the hot "virgin"singing this song? or by the mood lighting?... seriously? as a Catholic you you should be concerned with getting people to love God ... not with who is singing the song; or is the one singing more important that the message the song brings? or is the one singing more important that people coming to God?  seriously if you love those man then just go listen to them and stop looking at this 'young lady'as merely a hot "virgin" ...

  • Just awesome!

  • Oh so this isn't a Nick Cave cover? My bad.

  • Christians prove they have way more power behind their music

  • @jman945x... it was Johnny Cash... and this is a good song too...

  • this is the best version of Mercy seat i have ever heard. GREAT job!!!

  • nice..............

    

  • Amen

  • forget religious debate, this a good song.

  • There is NO such thing as a "scientific truth". The closest man gets is a "scientific law". Be encouraged. Serve the "Mighty God". You are singing to the "sick" who need healing, not the choir. Who among us are "well enough" to serve? Not even one. Humble yourself before the Lord & simply sing. Don't over "rehearse" . Since I have been fighting BC, I can no longer sing on key. ...miss "my" music ministry & morn the loss daily. Sing, sing, sing. You don't know what tomorrow may bring. C

  • lov it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • so i know this is completely irrelevant amidst the hatred and praying. but who is the original artist for this song?

  • @bradlytle025 I think Vicki Yohe is the original artist :)

  • @TheLordsBabyGirl James Charity is

  • You don't have to be Christian to acknowledge that this is beautiful. On that same not, being an atheist doesn't mean you have to be so hostile to everything related to religion. Nick Cave is extremely influenced by Christian themes and gospel music, and he happens to make some of the most beautiful music in the world.

  • Nice! I go to this Prestonwood (3 campuses) and this was the Christmas performance. It is really nice. I'm not sure, but I don't think I went to this performance back in 2008. Prestonwood is a really good church. It's big and everyone makes friends. My family has probably met 30 families and speaking of that, one of them will celebrate 4th of july with us today. But in this video the chior has microphones. Not now, in 2011. but anyway, you should come visit if you ever come to the dallas area.

  • There are no non-believers (agnostics, atheists, or otherwise). There are only pre-believers.

  • @1bmccann Pre-believe me, if you will, but I'm a non-believer. I do however believe in science, though that's not believing but 'knowing'.

    Americans and their God. It's a fetish.

  • @wiseandclear I am a believer in science also - my profession is based on it, lots of it, but I am a believer in the Creator of science who is also the Creator of the universe (science) and the creator of our souls. The good thing about both science and the Creator is the mysteries are neverending, deep, and constantly revealing their multifaceted awesomeness when you search for them.

  • @wiseandclear lol so you "know" huh, must be smarter than everyone else in the world

  • @medinabrent Ofcourse I 'know'. I've got the evidence. I'm pretty sure it's not smart to reject evidence only to be able to maintain your faith. It's spasmodic, don't you think?

  • Great song. Jesus Mercy is awesome.

  • wonder version of the mercy seat this young lady sounds GOOD

  • I have never seen and heard a better version of this song than this one. 

  • Panda why don't you ask God and wait for an answer, you just might be surprised.

  • @The1000arc We still waiting a mail from him and i was boring waiting so i read Nietzsche , oups i should'nt have !!!

  • god is dead

  • @PandaAcousticSex nietzsche is dead

    

  • @TearsofMandos

    Jesus is dead :)

    and milliards of human and animals are dead - who cares? that's life and there is no damn god who will safe just one of those who die. we rot in the earth just like any other animal

  • @PandaAcousticSex i just accept your attitude towards god and life, but in my opinion our bodies rot in the earth, there is a god and jesus revived from the dead ;)

    i wish you a nice day

  • @TearsofMandos

    jesus was a trickster and all the people thought, he was sent by god. i don't know, so you can't know this, too. in history of the human the story (so all those facts, for example the revival after 3 days of death), that fits to jesus, was used for about 1000 gods (yes, really 1000) right before. for example in egypt where many of those sun-gods. all had the same storys and facts about their life. you give your life to a book. i would never follow the harry potter books,would u?

  • @PandaAcousticSex what are you doing watching this video if u don't believe in God? I have a hard time understanding why people who don't believe in God come on youtube 2 put negative comments on Christian videos I mean deep down in your heart you know that there is a God even if u don't want to admit it. God lives He loves you while you are still breathing come to Him just as you are ask for forgiveness while you are still alive He will forgive you all your sins. Dont waste time.

  • @labellecongolaise

    no, even deep down in my heart there's no god. in my heart is blood and some muscles - and this keeps me alive, not a holy strength from wonderland - all those, who believe in god, are against the nature and against life. a real god isn't just nice, he has to be cruel, too, or he does not represent the life as it is. don't live in the wonderworld in your head, try to live rational and see the life as it is - without a sense, there's just no purpose in the world.

  • @labellecongolaise Because we believe in something else ! I hardly believe that's nothing is deciding upon me , life is chance , completely random and we got to admit it so we can forgive people to be just human .

    No good , no evil , only mistakes and wisdom choices .

    The only thing in my heart is blood pumping and i don't have a soul , when my body dies i'll die cause i'm only flesh and this you canno't understand .

  • @MojoVince @MojoVince You might think that you believe in something else, as Jesus said choose ye this day who you're going to serve There exist 2 power of influences in this world. U make a choice either to accept and serve Christ alone or the devil. not making a choice is a choice, you are either on God's camp or the devil's. that's what satan want you to think, he want you to deny Christ and to deny the existence of the devil but the choice is yours noone will force you. May Jesus bless you

  • @labellecongolaise So for you only good and evil ... What is USA after beeing the only country that drop atomic bomb on civil people , good or evil ?? Vietnam war , iran war , irak war ...

    I serve no one and i'dont believe in old stories and santa claus anymore .

  • @labellecongolaise Finally Ive read a comment with sense!

    & on that not I must add! GOD IS GREAT!

    "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven."

    Matthew 10:33

    May God Touch All Your Troubled Hearts!

  • Awesome and true!!!! This song and my sisters are very beautiful... God has blessed us with them!!!

  • if even one persons spirit was moved by the Holy Spirit when this was sung/performed...then it was worth it. One at a time, we come to the mercy seat. I'm sure this video can't even come close to representing the power of the words, the moving of the Holy Spirit and the energy surging through the venue at the time it was made. God is bigger than we can dare to imagine and who am I to judge His work through this song.

  • @leannhunt2

    you disgust me

  • @PandaAcousticSex I'm sorry you feel that way.

  • @leannhunt2

    I'm sorry you feel how you feel about life and god. another human in search of some sense in this world of dirt - one more try to look away from pain, one more try to look away from life. you think you could be godlike - and live forever? heaven and hell? naah we will rot in the dirt and no one will care - think about life, my friend - and i really talk about life! not some construct of your worried mind

  • @PandaAcousticSex I am not worried. Not sure where you get that from. Why do you reply or comment on these things with such judgement. I certainly am not looking for any approval. I choose to live and let live. Can't you do the same?

  • @PandaAcousticSex after viewing your youtube channel I understand you are just looking to say useless and hurtful things. Perhaps you would be spending your time more wisely figuring yourself out and what you actually believe because I see you are all over the map.

  • @leannhunt2

    why are my thoughts useless? i dispute with my thoughts and the sense of life! why is this useless? of course i could say: the answer is jesus/god and everything is fine! i don't take the easy way, sorry

  • beautiful motivational song, knowing that God has mercy on us putting a side everything wrong that we have done

  • What a waste of such beauty... Locked up in a church, waiting to be relieved of burdens not there but mentaly placed by religion...

    Ps: Please people, do not attack me for MY beliefs, I do not attack you either, just the singer here, she may attack or defend.

  • When my church does this song its AMAZING. I wish i could record it, it really touches me :)

  • @MsFoxyBunny1995 It's music man !!!

  • It seems like they're just singing words...they sound great, but they are not capturing the purpose of the song~This is not a song just to sing, this is a song of last resort, of a sinner with no where to turn and they find grace and mercy at the feet of Jesus. When I heard Charity James and Vicke Yohe sing it with the passion and anointing of Christ, I repented and ran to Jesus, when I heard this it was just another run of the mill song that incited nothing

  • i love this song

  • love it

  • pRAISE Yeshua.

  • praise allah

  • Wow Amazing, God bless you more and more.

    Your so Beautiful and you have such an Amazing voice,

    keep using it For His Glory.

    Peace to you.

  • Oh see I was expecting a cover of the Nick Cave song i.e. something good. It is wonderful how you have used all that donation money for mood lighting though.

  • @jman945x hahaha i was like nick cave at church sick! Video totally didn't deliver....

  • @jman945x Me too, I followed a link from a Nick Cave video! Yes, nice lights, our tax subsidies at work.

  • @gpwnedable Tax subs? Not hardly. Churches are self funded by voluntary donations. Be glad though churches aren't taxed as a corporation.The democrats put a law in IRS code to require churches to not endorse political candidates or be taxed as a corp to stop one Texas preacher who was challenging LBJ. Only liberal preachers get tax dollars from businesses(since all $ comes from a business owner first)If dems ever do start taxing churches,off comes the gags and GM & apple will look like start-ups

  • @PANTTERA1959 If religious institutions are tax exempt then they are in effect being subsidized by those who do pay taxes.

  • @gpwnedable I got here through Nick Cave link also. This is much better though.

  • @jman945x Get over it. Great song :)

  • @jman945x

    you have a good point, but, that doesn't mean that Christianity isn't the truth of God.

  • god blessed you with a beautiful voice

  • Wow! Thank you!

  • you did amazing.. this is one of my favorite songs=)

    it is the right title, its by vicki yohe. i own it

  • I love. Iam from Brazil, very well. Jesus is holly and true!!!! My heart is from Jesus Christ

  • Hmm.... I expected to hear the Nick Cave song. Are you sure the title is right?

    You turned in a good performance, and the choir suits this arrangement.

  • @dfarmbrough

    yes the title is right. there can be multiple songs with the same title.

  • @Flareboxx Yes, I know there CAN be, but I have also seen this song with a different title.

  • Impresionante!!! Escuchenla, peil de river...digo...piel de galllina.

  • Lord, I´m running to your mercy seat.... THANK YOU JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!

  • love this song im runnin to ur mercy seat ready with god by my side!!!

  • This girl with this beautiful voice and all of the others lets me know that God has not given up un America. This lets me know that there is a chance for Americas future.

    God bless the musicians and the arrangers also. Powerful performance ana song!!

  • That was actually pretty sweet.

    Though I must admit that I came here looking for Nick Cave's Mercy Seat. It is admittedly a far darker song, but it is also an infinitely more powerful song both in terms of fantastic lyrics and from a Christian perspective.

    Check it out if you haven't.

  • really sweet voice

  • This performance just blows me away. All those young faces and voices with such emotion... I know they mean every word. The lead vocalist is simply amazing. Miss, please submit more of your worship performances. The song itself is powerful but you take it over the top. Thank you and all of those involved with this superb project of love, song, and grace.

  • Beautiful!

  • love it

  • amen i love this powerfull song!

  • God's blessing -- great praise song.

  • YESHUA is LORD !!!

  • i like your voice , you are so many cool ,and swet

  • Wow...I don't know who this is, but she has an amazing voice! What a gift from God! This song has always been such a blessing to me, from the first time I heard Charity James sing it at the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Fl. And of course, the Vicki Yohe original is amazing!

    God's mercy is undeniable! How can people not run to Him?

  • Anyone know a CD with this song on it?

  • @CampusMinistryPurdue

    Look for it by Vicki Yohe!

  • This girl sings with professional quality.

  • I'm in a sprint

  • Great job, you did really good! you guys sounded great, blessed my soul. This is 1 of my fav songs...

  • I'd like to be running to His mercy seat. I need some good loving from my Abba, Father and Jesus!!!AMEN Just imagine being in His arms in the mercy seat!

  • thank you Jesus for this song it is so heart lifting alleluia beautiful rendition

  • thats d track their e

  • This song is so powerful. The drama team I am apart of is doing a drama for this song this Sunday for our church service. I am so ready to see the spirit of God move!

  • You have an amazing voice! 

  • This song just touches my heart every time I listen to it. Jesus is my savior.. let Him into your heart and be saved!

  • Oh if people would study the Bible and come to understand that Jesus died for the sins of all mankind and that the mercy of God was released into the earth when the veil was rent in twain. Praise you Lord God almighty.

  • The Mercy Seat is a wonderful abiding place to shelter oneself. I feel the singer is really anointed. Hope she knows it.

  • i'm runnin to the mercy seat. im desperate for it. its my only hope =(

  • WOW!!! These kids are AHMAYZING!!!! Praise God for giving them the talent of singing!!!!

  • powerful anointing behind this group... see u don have to b pentecostal or apostolic to b anointed and used by god

  • wll known since1995 the Brownsville Pensecola Awakening....

  • Great job!!! I sing in the adult choir and we are singing it this Sunday! Powerful song.....where would we be without His mercy!

  • you guys should start watching johnny cash mercy seat video right now instead..

    (not saying this video isn't good)

  • What key is this in..? 

  • that was a beautiful blessing. Praise the Lord, indeed, for the gift he has given you. Keep it up!

  • love this. my church youth acted this out. it was a awsome feeling in the room we did it. yall did a good on this song.

  • that girl is gorgeous and she can flat out sing!!!!

  • The choir at my church sang this one today.

  • This is one awsome video. Thank you so very much. May God bless you as much as you have blessed others with this video.

  • You did a great job young lady!!

  • who is this girl??? i wanna marry her!!!

  • PERFECT!

  • screw this, listen to the nick cave song of the same name, Johnny Cash did the best version.

  • @stewie1974 I agree with this comment.

  • love this song!!!!!!

  • This one is absolutely the best version of the song I have ever seen a video of.

  • this is a wonderful and powerful version of this song, but the artist thaty wrote the song (Charity James) is better you can not beat her version. i was there the first time the song was ever played live.

  • Beautiful!

  • best version of this song that i've ever heard!!!

  • Jesus is not the power of positive thinking. That was a book written by a secular humanist. This song was birthed from a revival(which i loved) where people were burning in the fire of the Holy Spirit, shaking, screaming, falling on the floor unconsious as God touched the people. And now the very hipocrites that condemned the revival(they wouldnt see the positive) they are turning Spirit birthed music into a broadway production at Caiafus' temple. You Judged the revival Ill judge your hipocracy.

  • yeah i agree,we should not judge..cause everyone of us has its own salvation..has its own way of praising GOd..

  • Praise God! I'm running to you, Lord!

  • baruch ata Adon Yeshua,Maschiach et Malech ha Olam

  • @Zionfire;  you have to see the positive of this, which is God's name is being proclaimed, and look at this Girls expression, they're singing with passion.

  • Excellent!

    Jeshua is the Lord!

  • very nice this is my favorite song in the world lol

  • Nick Caves Song "Mercy Seat" is much more better!

  • Comment removed

  • zionfire2, dude, what's wrong wit you? she's singing the song for the love of God and al l he is, what are you trying to say? you don't know what's happening in the audience ... the Holy Spirit has his own way of touching souls and God works in different ways. don't judge, for all i know, 'if they aren't against us, they're for us" Jesus said , don't stop ppl from preaching the gospel.

  • yaeh i agree with you..we should not judge evert one..cause we have our own salvation..

  • Who sings this version?

  • What a Blessing....

  • I'm a fan of this version, you did the song justice. You have a beautiful voice, very nice tone to your voice. It would be nice to here other songs that you have ministered. Well done, keep on blessing the people as God blesses you.

  • Amen sister!!

  • beautiful...where is ur church

  • its in plano texas

  • nice version!

  • Brittany this song still gives me chills...easily the best the number of MT. You rock my world

    -JP

  • Comment removed

  • May everyone who has the opportunity to minister this piece to the people of this world cause those who don't know Jesus Christ as Lord make a conscious decision to do so. For those who have back off come back to the Mercy Seat.

  • That's talent, the best vertion of "Mercy Seat" I've heard.

  • awesome.. you go girl!!!

  • They all did a AWESOME job. Very good, I liked it a lot!

  • I love this song and this video brings me to tears EVERY time I listen to it. the video goes perfect with it also. May God keep blessing your ministry and lives!!!!

  • Fine song, with deep sense, fine the soloist and chorus!

  • Great praise! I love it, it has been for too much bless to my life. And she sings very good. And this church has a grat choir!

    God Bless you! :D

  • Bela voz canta muito...

  • The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one — George Bernard Shaw

  • she's so good at singing.

    May GOD bless all them. And let us also run to the mercy seat..

  • Am so touched by the many young people singing for the Lord

  • oh sorry didnt know u were famous

  • What an insprirational Blessing to see and hear. Many Blessing to Prestonwood Baptist Church.

  • you did an excellant job on this song:) i am so glad prestonwood has talent like you there!!!!!:) god has blessed you with a beatiful voice and i hope you keep using it for the glory of god!!!:)

  • This song was not meant for a big production that loses so much of the Holy Spirit. It is way too anointed and best sung actually A-cappella solo with far more feeling than this talented gal does. Those who have ears to hear.... His mercy seat call of forgiveness and freedom healing is the only place to go when you want to turn your life around. You do not want a Hollywood production to help you get there. I know this much.

  • The anointing of the Holy Spirit is not limited to acapella renditions. It is not hindered nor enhanced by strong production values. It is a matter of the heart. it is a matter of openness to what God has for you regardless of the externals.

  • Comment removed

  • what a beautiful precious message!! do you have an instrumental version of this song? thank you for sharing!

  • god really blessed you

    keep singing for the lord

  • What an anointed song! Thanks for allowing God to use your gifting as an instrument of praise for His Glory!!!

  • Dang girl! You got some vocal cords!!! Kudos to you for giving your talent back to Him!

  • "The Mercy Seat" ...it's an anomoly for the electric chair, ya numbskulls. FFS

  • She did this song justice!  The first time that I heard it sang was by Karen Wheaton, but I think she would b proud!
