Known By The Scars

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


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

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

         C                         
But they chose to tear those gentle
        B
 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      
Who never sinned, nor lied, yet was
  B
 crucified


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

[Verse 3]
    Em                          
And after they had slain Him and 
 D
laid Him in the grave
        C                          
And the ones He loved had fled into
     B
 the dark
Em                                 
Then His love and power raised Him 
D
God won the victory
         C                         
But they only recognized Him by the
 B
 scars


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

Marks of death that God chose never 
to erase

The wounds of love's eternal war
           C      D             
When the kingdom comes with its
