| 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. |
