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

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.
