Mercy Saw Me Lyrics

The years have 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 desperate cry
And he saw my past
Through merciful eyes

Beautiful, that's how mercy saw me
For I was broken and so lost
Mercy looked past all my faults
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

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
Then you will say

Beautiful, that's how mercy saw me
For I was broken and so lost
Mercy looked past all my faults
Yes, the Justice of God saw what I had done
But mercy saw me through the Son
Not what I was, (He saw just) but what I could be
(That's how mercy saw me)
That's how mercy saw me
Not what I was (but what I could be)
What I could be
(That's how mercy saw me)

That's how mercy saw me (saw me)
Mercy saw me

Beautiful, that's how Jesus sees us.
Thank You, Lord; Thank You for Your mercy.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son
That whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
