Mercy Saw Me

This song has become my life's song.  I finally found all of the words, so thought I'd share them with you too:  I can't find out who wrote it though, so my apologies to the creator of this beautiful piece.

Mercy Saw Me
The years have left scars.
The scars have left pain.
How could he recognize me?
I wasn’t the same.

I knew I must pay and I knew the price
For justice and law demanded my life.
But His tender heart heard my desperate cry,
and He looked at me through merciful eyes.

Beautiful!  That’s how mercy saw me.
Though I was broken and so lost,
Mercy looks past all my faults.
The justice of God saw what I had done,
But mercy saw me through me through the Son.
Not what I was, but what I could be.
That’s how mercy saw me.

Wherever you go, 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.
Yet His heart cries out for your heart today.
See yourself through His eyes and then you will say:

Beautiful!  That’s how mercy saw me.
Though I was broken and so lost,
Mercy looks past all my faults.
The justice of God saw what I had done,
But mercy saw me through me through the Son.
Not what I was, but what I could be.
That’s how mercy saw me.
