Mercy Tree

Intro: Em  C  G (2x)

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           G
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
