Know By The Scars
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mother Mary cried as she held heaven her arms
For the shadow of the scar she saw was clear
As her own bewildered baby lay weeping for the world
Whose frightened tears would free us all from fear
The marks of death that God chose never to erase
The wounds of love's eternal mark
When the kingdom comes with it's perfected sons
He will be known by the scars
For a time He sought to tell the world He was the Way
That God the father had a human heart
With His own holy hands He sought
To touch and heal their scars
But they chose to tear those gentle hands apart
No one was there to wipe away the tears
That burned the holy eyes of God
As He looked upon His one and only Son
Who'd never sin, nor lied, yet was crucified
The marks of death that God chose never to erase
The wounds of love's eternal mark
When the kingdom comes with it's perfected sons
He will be known by the scars
And after they had slain Him and laid Him in the grave
And the ones He loved had fled into the dark
Then His love and power raised Him
God won the victory
But they only recognized Him by the scars
The marks of death that God chose never to erase
The wounds of love's eternal mark
When the kingdom comes with it's perfected sons
He will be known by the scars
