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      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
