“Mercy Tree” by Lacey Sturm Lyrics

I couldn’t find the lyrics for this song, “Mercy Tree” by Lacey Sturm, so I gave it a shot. If you notice any corrections, please let me know!

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 a finished ?watch? his cry
The perfect Lamb was crucified
The sacrifice. Our victory.
Our Salvation chose the mercy tree

Hope went dark that violent day
The whole quaked at love’s display
Three days silence in the ground
This body born for Heaven’s crown

On that bright and glorious day
Heaven opened up the grave
He’s alive and risen indeed
Praise him for the mercy tree

Death has died. Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome.
He has given from the dead.

Death has died. Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome.
He has given from the dead.

One day soon We’ll see His face
And every tear, He’ll wipe a way
No more pain or suffering

Praise him for the mercy tree

Death has died. Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome.
He has given from the dead.

Death has died. Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome.
He has given from the dead.

    Hi, you did a great job on the words. Im going to type what I heard and you can see if thats what you hear too. It is finished was his cry. Our Savior chose the mercy tree. The whole earth quaked at loves display. Three days silent in the ground. He has risen from the dead. The final words…On a hill called Calvary stands an endless mercy tree. This was played in our church today, I loved it and had to look up the words. Thanks for doing such a great job!!

    Hey, this is great! I just noticed a few things.
    I think it’s “broken, weary soul” in the first verse.
    Also, He is risen from the dead.
    And, “Sacred Head” pierced by our thorns.

    Thanks for writing these out. This is a fantastic song!

    Cheers,
    Emilee

    Bridge line4: It is a finished ?watch? his cry – “It is finished” was his cry
    Chorus line 4: He is risen from the dead

    Great job – thank you. Few corrections: He has risen – not given. Our Savior – not salvation chose the mercy tree. Was His cry – not watch. Again, thank you for the effort.

    1. “Sacred head pierced by our thorns”, instead of “sacred hands pierced by our thorns”
    2. “Our Savior chose the mercy tree” , instead of “Our salvation chose the mercy tree”

    3. “He has risen from the dead”, instead of “He has given from the dead”

    thanks for posting. I love this song and would love to find the accompaniment track.. I hope they make one…

    By the way, I think the chorus is “He has risen from the dead” instead of “given” from the dead…

    Thank you for posting the lyrics, I just have one correction. I think on the last line of the chorus it’s “He has risen from the dead” instead of “He has given from the dead”. 🙂 Merry almost Christmas!

    2ns paragraph 4th line
    salvation BY the mercy tree
    3rd paragraph 4th line
    sacred HEAD pierced by our thorns
    4th paragraph 1st line sounds to me like
    it is finished WAS His cry
    4th paragraph 4th line
    our SAVIOR chose the mercy tree
    5th paragraph 2nd line
    the whole EARTH quaked at love’s display
    6th paragraph 1st line
    BUT, on that bright and glorious day
    7th paragraph 4th line
    He has RISEN from the dead
    (same in 8th, 11th, & 12th Paragraphs)
    Add a final paragraph
    On a hill called Calvary
    Stands an endless mercy tree

    That’s all I could find 🙂

    It is finished wash His cry

    No “our” before “Salvation chose the mercy tree”

    “The whole EARTH quaked at Love’s display
    Three days silenT in the ground”

    And all the lines are “He has RISEN from the dead”, not ‘given’

    I appreciate your effort on ‘The Mercy Tree’ lyrics. You cracked the code of a few words I could not discern. Here is what I believe is the accurate lyric string. (not certain on the punctuation). If you haven’t seen the “My Cross” video that accompanies this clip I would really encourage you to do so. Thanks again! http://myhopewithbillygraham.org/programs/the-cross/

    On a hill called Calvary,
    Stands an endless mercy tree.
    Every broken weary soul;
    Find your rest and be made whole.

    Stripes of blood that stain its frame;
    Shed to wash away your shame.
    From the scars pure love released;
    Salvation by 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;
    His body born for Heaven’s crown.

    On that bright and glorious day,
    heaven opened up the grave.
    He’s alive and risen indeed!;
    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!

    Ben,
    Where you have “He has given from the dead.” It’s “He has RISEN from the dead.” Where you have “Our Salvation chose the Mercy Tree” it should be ” Our SAVIOR chose the Mercy Tree.” Where you have ” The whole quaked at love’s display.” It should be ” The whole EARTH quaked at love’s display.”
    Other than that, Cudos! You did a great job!
