By the mark By the mark, where the nails have been, by the (G5)deep in his side, up on his (C5)pre cious skin.

His I will know my Sav ior when I come to him by the (G5)mark where the (F)nails have (C5)been.

A man

of rich es

may they (G5)claim

suf of jewels.

But the King

of Heav en

By the mark By the mark, where the nails have been, by the (G5)deep in his side, up on his (C5)pre cious skin.

His pre cious skin, my Sav ior when I come to him by the (G5)mark where the (F)nails have (C5)been.

On

I will know my Sav ior when I come to him by the (G)mark where the (F)nails have (C5)been.
