Ik kende het niet, maar het raakte mijn hart diep en ik prentte de naam van het lied in mijn hoofd.
Op zich niet zo moeilijk: 'Mercy Tree'.
Nu heb ik het eerst even opgezocht om zelf nogmaals te luisteren, maar ook om te bewaren en te delen.
Mercy Tree van Lacey Sturm
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
The 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 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 risen from the dead.
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
Jezus is waarlijk opgestaan!
De Liefde heeft het laatste woord!
Genade is er voor jou en mij;
eeuwig leven voor wie Hem toebehoort!
De liefde heeft het laatste woord!
Zijn vergeving wacht op jou!
Genade biedt Hij je aan,
omdat Hij zoveel van je houdt!
Amèn!
