Original Praise And Worship

Travis Sweitzer

Mercy Seat is a worship song born from the heart of surrender—an invitation to kneel before the holy presence of God and encounter His redeeming grace. Every line speaks personally and directly to the soul that longs for refuge, reverence, and restoration. This is not just a song to be sung, but a space to be entered—a sacred meeting place between a weary heart and a faithful Savior.

The lyrics begin with honest confession: “I’ve wept in ashes, laying down my pride”—a moment many can relate to, where we release what once defined us. But the focus quickly shifts upward, toward the transforming power of grace: “I return by grace where I belong.” The repeated image of kneeling reflects not defeat, but sacred devotion—reminding us that the floor at God’s feet is where joy, strength, and peace are rediscovered.

The chorus paints a profound picture: “This is holy ground — Your Spirit falls so strong / Even my hardest struggles are turned into song.” Here, pain is not dismissed but redeemed. Regret is not hidden but turned into worship. And the mercy seat, once distant in the temple, becomes the very place where the believer now dwells in peace.

Later lines like “You rebuild what’s broken — my soul revels in Your peace” and “Covered by grace, I’m forever Yours” emphasize God’s unfailing love through the lens of deep intimacy. This is a song for the humble, the grateful, and those who long to come closer.

"Mercy Seat" offers more than melody—it offers a spiritual encounter. Let these lyrics draw you in. Bow low, sing loud, and find rest at the place where grace still speaks. This is holy ground. This is the mercy seat.

"Cruisin’ Maui" is a fun, upbeat island-country song written to celebrate the joy of returning to a place filled with sunshine, memories, and laughter. It’s the kind of song you roll the windows down to as you drive along the coast, breathe in the salty air, and smell the plumerias bloom all around you. With playful lyrics and a warm, acoustic-driven feel, the song captures the thrill of flying over the Pacific, hearing that first “Aloha,” watching the Maui sunrise from atop a crater, and getting lost together along the Road to Hana.

This isn’t just about visiting Hawaii…it’s about the experience of enjoying life together — stopping at fruit stands, dancing at a luau under the moon, finding joy in every hidden spot and winding road. The chorus is simple and unforgettable, repeating like the rhythm of the waves: “Cruisin’ Maui with you.”

Whether it’s the sound of a ukulele on the radio or the smell of guava trees in the warm ocean breeze, this song is full of island happiness — and reminds us that sometimes the best vacations aren’t about the destination, but the person who’s sharing the ride.

Cruisin' Maui

Oh ohhh, oh yeahhh, look over there, yeah here she comes, she walks to the beat of a hundred drums. Here comes an unbreakable woman. When she walks in a room, just watch all her dreams come to bloom. I’m amazed and in awe, her force is a flame. She’s my hope in the struggle, and I won’t be the same. She’s faced the fire and walked through the rain, built big dreams through struggle and pain. Long nights of work when the money was thin, she pressed on till the harvest came in. Against all odds, she carved out a way. Her grit is a banner that still flies today. She raised up a family, she carried the load, turned ashes to beauty on this winding road. Young kids are watching the path she has shown; they’ll know how to thrive by the seeds she’s sown. Through trials and through storms, her spirit won’t bend. She’s steady, she’s certain, beginning to end. The weight of the world tried to push her down, she rose with power to shake the ground. If you knew her like I do, you might say the same—she’s a living legend my world can’t contain. Here comes an unbreakable woman. When she walks in a room, just watch all her dreams come to bloom. I’m amazed and in awe, her force is my flame. She’s my hope in the struggle, and I won’t be the same. Forever I’ll cherish, forever I’ll stand by the side of my unbreakable woman.

Unbreakable Woman

The Offering

God of mercy, I'm reaching out. In my deepest pain, see my heart. I feel so alone, but I know You're near. You've known me from the start. Lord, come closer, hold me tight. Let Your presence be my song. You're the God who sees me. You've seen me all along. I am seen, I am known, I am loved. I am seen, I am known, I am loved. Let every heart confess, I am seen, I am known, I am loved by my heavenly Father. You called my name before the dawn. Your voice still echoes in my soul. Though I wandered far, I'm not alone. The God who sees me makes me whole. You see me when the world looks right through. You heard my cries before I ever spoke. In the quiet of my heart, You move. Your healing love restores my hope. I am seen, I am known, I am loved. Let every heart confess, I am seen, I am known, I am loved by my heavenly Father. Search me, Lord, and find me here. You've not found my life too small. You never miss a single tear. You see it all, You see it all. You see the hidden parts of me, dreams that no one else can see. Your eyes are kind, Your mercy deep. You watch and wait and still love me. In a sea of billions, God sees you, and He calls you by name. You are seen, you are known, you are loved. Let every heart confess, you are seen, you are known, you are loved by your heavenly Father. In the wilderness, He found you there. A barren heart in desperate prayer. God spoke your name, and hope revived. The God who sees- still brings to life. The God who sees brings "you" to life.

My Eternal King

The vast heavens so clearly reveal, the magnificent glory of my God- yeah. Though all of earth's grand wonders, fall woefully short of Your fame. For who in the heavens can be compared to You, oh Lord? The Lord is my light, and sure salvation. The glory of God, rolls like thunder. Your Spirit moves on the wings of the wind- yeah, and You lead me beside, such still waters. (Oh - oh - ohh)You are my rock and my fortress, a strong tower, from my enemy. The Lord God is my sun and shield. I rest in the shadow, of the Almighty. (Oh - oh ohh, Oh - oh - ohh) I sing how great is my God who reigns. Everything bows at the sound of Your name. Creation echoes Your glory, but can’t stake Your claim. All fall woefully short of you fame. For who in the heavens can be compared to You, oh Lord? The Lord is my light, and sure salvation. The glory of God, rolls like thunder. Your Spirit moves on the wings of the wind- yeah,  and You lead me beside such still waters.

For You are my strength and my song, my strength and my song, a stronghold in the day of trouble. You’ve become my salvation. (Oh - oh - oh) I will remember the name of my glorious God (my glorious God). (Ohhhhh) The Lord is my light and sure salvation. The glory of God, rolls like thunder. Your Spirit moves on the wings of the wind- yeah, and You lead me beside such still waters. (Oh - ohh) You are my rock and my fortress, a strong tower from my enemy.
