Mercy Saw Me Lyrics

The years had left scars, The scars had left pain,
How could He recognize me, I wasn"t the same;
I knew I should pay and I knew the price,
For justice and law demanded my life.
But His tender heart heard my desp"rate cry,
And He saw my past through merciful eyes
Chorus

Beautiful, That"s how mercy saw me,
Though I was broken and so lost,
Mercy looked past all my faults;
The justice of God saw what I had done,
But mercy saw me through the Son,
Not what I was, but what I could be,
That"s how mercy saw me

Verse 2
Whatever you"ve done, you can"t go too far
That His eyes of mercy can"t see where you are;
He loves you too much to leave you alone,
You"re flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone
And His heart cries out for your heart today,
See yourself through His eyes and then you can say

Bridge

Sin had stolen my dignity and all my self esteem;
But I was made brand new again,
When mercy looked at me
(Repeat Chorus)

Chorus

Beautiful, that"s how mercy saw me,
Though I was broken and so lost,
Mercy looked past all my faults;
The justice of God saw what I had done,
But mercy saw me through the Son,
Not what I was, but what I could be,
That"s how mercy saw me
Not what I was, but what I could be,
That"s how Jesus saw me
