BY THE MARK   Key of C (G, Capo 5)

 

VERSE 1:
         G                           D
When I cross over, I will shout and sing
       G                                   D                       C              G
I will know my savior, by the mark where the nails have been

CHORUS:
      G
By the mark where the nails have been
          D                    G
By the sign upon his precious skin
       G     
I will know my savior when I come to him
          D                        C              G
By the mark where the nails have been

VERSE 2:
A man of riches, may claim a crown of jewels
But the king of heaven, can be told from the prince of fools

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
On Calvary Mountain, where they made him suffer so
All my sin was paid for, a long, long time ago

(CHORUS)

VERSE 4:
I will know my savior when I come to him
By the mark where the nails have been
