Mercy Saw Me - Don Moen

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.
