On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree
Every broke and 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 brought the mercy tree
In the sky, between two thieves
Hung the blameless Prince of Peace
Bruised and battered, scarred and scorned
Sacred Hands 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 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
Oh, praise him for the mercy tree
Death has died; Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome.
He has risen from the dead.
One day soon we'll see His face
And every tear, He'll wipe a way
No more pain or suffering
Oh, praise him for the mercy tree
Death has died; Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome.
He has risen from the dead.
Death has died; Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome.
He has risen from the dead.
On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree
