Up to the mountain of mercy, to the crimson perpetual tide, Kneel down on the shore, be thirsty no more, go under and be purified. Follow Christ to the holy mountain, sinners are erect by the fall, And cleanse your heart and soul in the fountain that flows, for you and for me and for all. At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree, on a beautiful, scandalous night, you and me, Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white, on a beautiful, scandalous night.
On the hillside you will be delivered, at the foot of the cross justified, And your spirit restored by the river that pours, for my blessed Savior's side. At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree, on a beautiful, scandalous night, you and me, Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white, on a beautiful, scandalous night. At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree, on a beautiful, scandalous night, you and me, Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white, on a beautiful, scandalous night.
Oh, it was a beautiful, scandalous night. Love.
