By The Marks

The happiest years of my life were spent in Pineville and DeWitt Kentucky, I was born in Savannah Ga, and spent the first 9 years in Ga, from then until age 15, in Ky and back to the Savannah. Born in the Bible belt and child to a Baptist Preacher, this is the sound of the music I heard... I have not heard this one before today. I listen to Bluegrass on the way to Wal-Mart, and the words and harmony  grabbed me.

When I cross over
I will shout and sing
I will know my savior
By the mark where the
Nails have been
By the mark where the
Nails have been
By the sign upon his precious skin
I will know my savior

When I come to him
By the mark where the
Nails have been
A man of riches
May claim a crown of jewels
But the king of heaven
Can be told from the
Prince of fools
By the mark where the
Nails have been
By the sign upon his precious skin
I will know my savior
When I come to him
By the mark where the
Nails have been
On Calvary's Mountain
Where they made him suffer so
All my sin was paid for
A long, long time ago
By the mark where the
Nails have been
By the sign upon his precious skin
I will know my savior
When I come to him
By the mark where the
Nails have been
