 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 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....
