Capo 2

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
