Mercy Saw Me - T.D. Jakes

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

Where ever 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, you can say

Sin had stolen my dignity

And all my self esteem

But I was made brand new again

When Mercy looked at me

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 could be that’s how Mercy saw me

For not what I was, but what I could be, that’s how Jesus saw me
