Mercy Tree

(album: Real Life / Real Worship - 2014)

On a hill called Calvary
There 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 sky between two thieves
Hung the blameless prince of peace
Bruised 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 Loveʼs display
Three days silent in the ground
This body born for heavenʼs crown

But on that bright and glorious day
When heaven opened up the grave
Heʼs alive and risen indeed!
Oh 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

One day soon weʼll see His face
And every tear Heʼll wipe away
No more pain or suffering
Oh praise Him for The Mercy Tree

[CHORUS X2]

On a hill called Calvary
There stands an endless mercy tree
