[Intro]
C G C B Em G C B Em D C

[Verse 1]
Em D
Mother Mary cried as she held heaven her arms
C B
For the shadow of the scar she saw was clear
Em D
As her own bewildered baby lay weeping for the world
C B
Whose frightened tears would free us all from fear

[Chorus]
C D Em
The marks of death that God chose never to erase
C D Em
The wounds of love's eternal war
C D Em
When the kingdom comes with its perfected sons
C D Em
He will be known by the scars
D C B

[Verse 2]
Em D
For a time He sought to tell the world He was the Way
C B
That God the father had a human heart
Em D
With His own holy hands He sought to touch and heal their scars
C B
But they chose to tear those gentle hands apart

[Bridge]
C Em
What was there to wipe away the tears
C Em
Firm the holy eyes of God
C D Em
As He looked upon His one and only Son
C B
Who never sinned, nor lied, yet was crucified

[Chorus]
C D Em
The marks of death that God chose never to erase
C D Em
The wounds of love's eternal war
C D Em
When the kingdom comes with its perfected sons
C D Em
He will be known by the scars
D C B
