[Intro]
Em7  C  G
[Verse 1]
On a Em7hill called CCalvaGry, stands an Em7endless Cmercy Gtree
Every Em7broken Cweary Gsoul, find your Dsusrest and Cbe made Gwhole
Stripes of Em7blood that Cstain its Gframe, shed to Bmwash away our Cshame
From the Gscars, pure Clove reGleased; salvation Dsusby the mercy Gtree
[Verse 2]
In the Em7sky, beCtween two Gthieves, hung the Em7blameless CPrince of GPeace
Bruised and Em7battered, Cscarred and Gscorned, sacred Dsushead, pierced Cby our Gthorns
"It is Em7finished" Cwas His Gcry
The perfect BmLamb was cruciCfied
His sacriGfice our CvictoGry; our Savior Dsuschose the mercy Gtree
[Verse 3]
Hope went Em7dark that Cviolent Gday   
The whole earth Em7quaked at CLove's disGplay
Three days Em7silent Cin the Gground, this body Dsusborn for CHeaven's Gcrown
On that Em7bright and Cglorious Gday, when Heaven Bmopened up the Cgrave
He's aGlive and Crisen Gindeed! Oh, praise Him Dsusfor the mercy Gtree!
[Chorus]
Death has Ddied, love has Em7won; halleClujah, Em7halleGlujah! 
Jesus DChrist has CoverEm7come; He has Crisen Dfrom the Gdead
[Verse 4]
One day Em7soon we'll Csee His Gface; and every Em7tear, He'll Cwipe aGway
No more Em7pain or CsuffeGring; oh, praise Him Dsusfor the mercy Gtree!
[Chorus] x2
Death has Ddied, love has Em7won; halleClujah, Em7halleGlujah! 
Jesus DChrist has CoverEm7come; He has Crisen Dfrom the Gdead
[Outro]
On a Em7hill called CCalvaGry, stands an Em7endless Cmercy Gtree
