Mercy Tree - Liam Bailey

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 our 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 head 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 And on that bright and glorious day When 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 away 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

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 our 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 head 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; Every tear, He'll wipe away. 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 risen from the dead. Death has died, love has won; Hallelujah, hallelujah! Jesus Christ has overcome; He has risen from the dead. He has risen from the dead! On a hill called Calvary Stands an endless mercy tree.

Desolate Isolated in a crowd of friends Innocent So well again until the night ends And now she's going, going, gone Left with her facade Got her heels halfway on When she goes back to where she's from She's barely holding on But she's dancing on tables Oh god, Bailey You think you're funny but you're not When the look is all you got Oh god, Bailey You spend your Daddy's credit card Then complain that money's hard And your pictures compensate for your lack for your fun And you wonder why you're alone Oh god, Bailey You think you're funny but you're not When the look is all you got, Bailey Formulaic My calendar is just a book of poems So how are we playing? Are we running like kids? Are we over it?

I can't lie Bailey, nothing's figured out Tracing the steps to your porch And I can't Can't slow down now Can't slow down now But I can try Oh god, Bailey You think you're funny but you're not When the look is all you got Oh god, Bailey You spend your Daddy's credit card Then complain that money's hard And your pictures compensate for your lack for your fun And you wonder why you're alone Oh god, Bailey You think you're funny but you're not When the look is all you got Bailey
