Forgiving Eyes chords by Michael Card

Chords with lyrics

E minorEm                 D MajorD
Surrounded with shouts the cruel accusations
 CM7               D MajorD
Dragged to the court no hope of salvation
E minorEm                  D MajorD
All hope was lost for those who had caught me
CM7               D MajorD
Knew what I was, They knew all about me

  E minorEm
I thought it seemed strange as we entered in
   CM7
They stopped a young rabbi to ask His opinion
E minorEm
Caught in the act, their reason for hating
  CM7
My body could feel the stones that were waiting

  A minorAm
My judge a man from Galilee
    FF
In His eyes so gentle I could see
  DmDm             BB
A augmentedA father and a brother and a son

 E MajorE                       A augmentedA
Just as I saw Him, the hope I had lost became born again
  BB
I was not hopeless
 E MajorE
Though I'd been lost
    G# minorG#m            A augmentedA
Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me
   BB       E minorEm
With His forgiving eyes

  E minorEm                  D MajorD
The crowd gathered round, so angry and violent
  CM7               D MajorD
But He stood beside me, peaceful and silent
 E minorEm                    D MajorD
Then with a word, with one question, He showed them
   CM7                  D MajorD
That they too were guilty and could not condemn

   E minorEm                  D MajorD
The next thing I knew, He asked me, "Where are they?"
  CM7                D MajorD
And I looked around the courtyard was empty
   E minorEm                    D MajorD
The stones scattered 'round, the warm morning sunlight
 CM7                D MajorD
He'd made the darkness perfectly light

    A minorAm
In this new light now I understood
     FF
He would not condemn me though He could
  DmDm                BB
For He would be condemned someday for me

 E MajorE                       A augmentedA
Just as I saw Him, the hope I had lost became born again
  BB
I was not hopeless
 E MajorE
Though I'd been lost
    G# minorG#m            A augmentedA
Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me
   BB       E MajorE G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
With His forgiving eyes

     E minorEm
