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
