Geron Davis - 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

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
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
And then you can say

Sin has stolen my dignity
And all my self-esteem
But I was made brand new again
When mercy looked at me
