The Marks
by Brad Eberly

Album: Doulos

In His hands was the power of healing.
In His feet was the promise of Good News.
In His eyes was compassion for the needy.
In His voice, authority endued.
In His side was the scar that proved His dying.
On His brow, thorny insults and cruel lies.
On His back were the stripes that bought our healing.
In His heart was the grief that brought new life.

Chorus
These are the marks of the body of our savior
These are the signs of His life poured out for us.
These are the things that prove His overflowing love for all mankind.
These are the marks of the body of Christ.

In His touch there's release for every captive.
In His thoughts there's awareness of our need.
In His breath there's life for all the lifeless.
In His steps there's assurance where He leads.
By His side there's embrace for all the lonely.
In His grip there's security and peace.
In His arms there is strength for the weary.
In His reach there's enough for every need.

Bridge
Do our hands display His power?
Do our feet provide Good News?
Do our eyes see with compassion?
Does our voice speak forth His truth?
If we're called as His disciples,
And His name is what we wear,
Then the marks of Jesus' body
Will be the marks that we bear.
