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

Reff:
Beautiful that's how Mercy saw me
for I was broken and so lost
Mercy looked past all my faults
the Justice of God saw 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 see where you are
He loves you too much
to leave you alone
Your 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

Reff:
Beautiful that's how Mercy saw me
for I was broken and so lost
Mercy looked past all my faults
the Justice of God saw 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
Not what I was but what I could be
that's how Mercy saw me
Mercy saw me
