Verse 1 Em C G On a hill called Calvary Em C G Stands an endless mercy tree Em C G Every broken weary soul D G Find your rest and be made whole Em G Stripes of blood that stain its frame Bm C Shed to wash away our shame Em C G From the scars pure love released D G Salvation by the mercy tree
Verse 2 Em C G In the spot between two thieves Em C G Hung the blameless Prince of Peace Em C G Beaten, battered, scarred, and scorned D G Sacred head pierced by our thorns Em G It is finished was his cry Bm C The perfect lamb was crucified Em C G His sacrifice, our victory D G Our Savior chose the mercy tree
Verse 3 Em C G Hope went dark that violent day Em C G The whole earth quaked at love's display Em C G Three days silent in the ground D G This body born for heaven's crown Em G On that bright and glorious day Bm C When heaven opened up the grave Em C G He's alive and risen indeed! D G Praise him for the mercy tree!
Chorus D Em Death has died, love has won C D Hallelujah! Hallelujah! D Em Jesus Christ has overcome C D G He has risen from the dead
Verse 4 Em C G One day soon, we'll see his face Em C G And every tear, he'll wipe away Em C G No more pain or suffering D G Praise him for the mercy tree
(Chorus 2x)
Em C G On a hill called Calvary Em C G Stands an endless mercy tree
