Don Moen - Mighty Cross
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
For 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
Whereever you go
you can't go too far
that His eyes of Mercy can't see where you are
He loves you too much to leave you alone
you're flesh of His flesh
and bone of His bone
And His heart cries out for your heart today
See yourself through His eyes and then you will say
Yes The justice of God saw what I had done
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
