T.D Jakes - 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 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 Whereever 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: Sin had stolen my dignity and all my self esteem But I was made brand new again When Mercy looked past me Beautiful! That's how Mercy saw me Though I was broken and so lost not too long ago 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
