Mercy Saw Me



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 desperate 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 have done
But mercy saw me through the Son
Not what I was
But what I could be
That’s how mercy saw me


Wherever you’ve gone
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 to Him
See yourself through His eyes
Then you will say…


You’ll say
Sin has stolen my dignity
And all my self-esteem
But I’m made brand new again
When mercy looked at me

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 have done
But mercy saw me through the Son
Not what I was
But what I could be
That’s how mercy saw me

Not what I was
But what I could be
That's how JESUS saw me


- Becky Davis "Mercy Saw Me"
