Lyrics

There is an answer for the broken hearted
There is by grace the gift that sets men free
And inner healing comes to the lost and lonely
Jesus gave His life for all
On the mercy tree

The broken and battered souls who are lost
Crying out for help in all their pain
The one that hung for all to see
Took upon that cross all our guilt and shame

He brings help to those who need repair
and peace to those who seek
Answers for those wanting truth
and healing to the weak
In the hearts of those who walk alone
His word the path to live
He leads us on our journey
Reminding of all that he had to give

The cross I call the mercy tree
Covered with his blood
It is still standing strong
Rooted deep with love
And on that hill where three crosses hung
Through a victory that's hard to see
Jesus saved us all
Even my sins were redeemed

There is an answer for the broken hearted
There is by grace the gift that sets men free
And inner healing comes to the lost and lonely
Jesus gave his life for all
On the mercy tree
