Mercy Tree
On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree
Every broken, weary soul
Find your rest and be made whole
Stripes of blood that stain its frame
Shed to wash away our shame
From the scars, pure love released
Salvation by the mercy tree
In the spot between two thieves
Hung the blameless prince of peace
Beat and battered, scarred and scorned
Sacred head pierced by our thorns
"It is finished," was his cry
The perfect lamb was crucified
His sacrifice, our victory
Our savior chose the mercy tree
Hope went dark that violent day
The whole earth quaked at love's display
Three days silent in the ground
This body born for heavens crown
On that bright and glorious day
When heaven opened up the grave
He's alive and risen indeed
Oh, praise him for the mercy tree
Death has died, love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead
One day soon, we'll see his face
And every tear he'll wipe away
No more pain, no sufferin'
Oh, praise him for the mercy tree
Death has died, love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead
Death has died, love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead
He has risen from the dead
He has risen from the dead
Stands an endless mercy tree
Every broken, weary soul
Find your rest and be made whole
Stripes of blood that stain its frame
Shed to wash away our shame
From the scars, pure love released
Salvation by the mercy tree
In the spot between two thieves
Hung the blameless prince of peace
Beat and battered, scarred and scorned
Sacred head pierced by our thorns
"It is finished," was his cry
The perfect lamb was crucified
His sacrifice, our victory
Our savior chose the mercy tree
Hope went dark that violent day
The whole earth quaked at love's display
Three days silent in the ground
This body born for heavens crown
On that bright and glorious day
When heaven opened up the grave
He's alive and risen indeed
Oh, praise him for the mercy tree
Death has died, love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead
One day soon, we'll see his face
And every tear he'll wipe away
No more pain, no sufferin'
Oh, praise him for the mercy tree
Death has died, love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead
Death has died, love has won
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead
He has risen from the dead
He has risen from the dead
