michael card - 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 violent
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
forgiving eyes
