Mercy Saw Me

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
But justice and law
Demanded my life
His tender heart heard my desperate cry
And He saw my past through merciful eyes
Beautiful!
That's how Mercy saw me
Though I was broken and so lost
But 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 should be
That's how Mercy saw me
Where ever you go
You can't go too far
That His eyes of Mercy
Can't see where you are
Yes He loves you too much
To leave you alone
No He won't leave you alone
Yes, you're flesh of His flesh
Yes you are, Yes you are
And you're bone of His bone
Yet His heart cries out
For your heart today
See yourself through His eyes
And then you can say, you can say
Sin had stolen my dignity
And all my self esteem
But I was made brand new again
When Mercy looked at me
Beautiful!
That's how Mercy saw me
Though I was broken and so lost
But 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
For not what I was, but what I could be, that's how Jesus saw me
