Forgiving Eyes Lyrics

Surrounded with shouts the cruel accusations

Dragged to the court, no hope of salvation

All hope was lost for those who had caught me

Knew what I was, they knew all about me

I thought it seemed strange as we entered in

They stopped a young rabbi to ask his opinion

Caught in the act, their reason for hating

My body could feel the stones that were waiting

My judge, a man from Galilee

In His eyes so gentle I could see

A father and a brother and a son

Just as I saw Him, the hope I had lost became born again

I was not hopeless, though I'd been lost

Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me

With His forgiving eyes

The crowd gathered round, so angry and violentMichael Card - Forgiving Eyes - http://motolyrics.com/michael-card/forgiving-eyes-lyrics.html

But He stood beside me, peaceful and silent

Then with a word, with one question, He showed them

That they too were guilty and could not condemn

The next thing I knew, He asked me, "Where are they?"

And I looked around the courtyard was empty

The stones scattered 'round, the warm morning sunlight

He'd made the darkness perfectly light

In this new light now I understood

He would not condemn me though He could

For He would be condemned someday for me

Just as I saw Him, the hope I had lost became born again

I was not hopeless, though I'd been lost

Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me

With His forgiving eyes
