Mercy Saw Me

 
Verse 1
C D                Am7 C D    D              G2 Em7
The years had left scars, the scars had left pain,
                  Am7   C D  D            G2 D G C G
How could He recognize me, I wasn't the same;
G        Em7     Am7 C D     D C        Bm7 Em7
 I knew I should pay     and I knew the price,
                  Am7 Am G          F  Am7 D/F# B/D#
For justice and law     demanded my life.
    Em        C          Em          C
But His tender heart heard my desp'rate cry,
    Em          G2 A A7      F         Am7 D D
And He saw my past    through merciful eyes.

Chorus
G      Am7 G/B                   C2 Am7
Beautiful,  that's how mercy saw me,
       C D   D      C D    D G/B Am7
Though I was broken and so lost,
        D/F#      C G      G   G/B
Mercy looked past all my faults;
    C                  Bsus       B   B/D# Em
The justice of God saw what I had done,
      Em+7 Em7 Am7 b5 
Mercy saw  me  through the Son,
           G D      Em  A7 A9    Am7 D           D  C D D   G
Not what I was, but what I could be,  that's how mercy  saw me.

Verse 2
C D              Am7 C D    D            G2 Em7
 Whatever you've done,  you can't go too far
                Am7  C D     D               G2 D G C G
That His eyes of mercy can't see where you are;
G           Em7   Am7 C D  D C        Bm7 Em7
 He loves you too much  to leave you alone,
                       Am7 Am G              F  Am7 D/F# B/D#
You're flesh of His flesh    and bone of His bone.
    Em             C      Em           C
And His heart cries out for your heart today,
        Em                G2 A A7   F            Am7 D D
See yourself through His eyes   and then you can say.

Bridge
Em                Bm D  G2 B Am7    D/F#        Gsus G
Sin had stolen my dignity     and all my self esteem;
D/F# Em    Em D#      Em D A2 C# C         F        C D D
 But I was made brand new again,  when mercy looked at me.
