Capo 2

Intro:   (2x)

Verse 1
                    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

Verse 2
                     In the spot between two thieves
                        Hung the blameless Prince of Peace
                            Beaten, 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

Verse 3
                        Hope went dark that violent day
                               The whole earth quaked at love's display
                      Three days silent in the ground
                                 
This body born for heaven's crown
                          On that bright and glorious day
                         When heaven opened up the grave
                  He's alive and risen indeed!
                         Praise him for the mercy tree!

Chorus
                       Death has died, love has won
               Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
                    Jesus Christ has overcome
                    He has risen from the dead

Verse 4
                         One day soon, we'll see his face
                        And every tear, he'll wipe away
                  No more pain or suffering
                        Praise him for the mercy tree

(Chorus 2x)

                 On a hill called Calvary
                    Stands an endless mercy tree
