When I cross over
I will shout and sing
I will know my savior
By the mark where the nails have been 

[Chorus]
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 

[Chorus]

On Calvary Mountain
Where they made him suffer so
All my sin was paid for
A long, long time ago 

[Chorus]
