Capo 5th Fret

  G
When I cross over
         D
I will shout and sing
         G                    D
I will know my savior by the mark
           C             G
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.


 G
A man of riches
      D
May claim a crown of jewels
         G
But the king of heaven
         D             C        G
Can be told from the prince of fools.

Chorus:
G
By the mark where the nails have been

On Calvary Mountain
             D

All my sin was paid for

A long, long time ago.
