Mercy Saw Me Chords

 
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.

C D D
