"Mercy Tree" by Lacey Sturm, as seen in the film "The Cross" featuring Billy Graham. This song is everything that contemporary Christian worship music should be theologically profound, deep lyrics.
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
