It wasn't that far from where your life began
To where you laid it down
A man on a mission what we couldn't see then
We can see it now
I can only imagine the look in Your Father's eyes
When you came back home
And said look at the scars in my hands and my side
I just wanted you to know
These are the marks of the mission
These are the proof of all I've been through
The evidence of sin forgiven
All that I have I offer to you
I followed the call wherever it led me
It was worth every step of the way
I've come through the dark
Bearing the marks of the mission
No, I wasn't there to see them drive the nails
But yet I still believe
The blood of redemption He so willingly shed
Was enough for me
Lord I know when You see me
You look past the pain that I've caused
To a heart that's changed
If I asked You if my sins were worth what it cost
I know just what You will say
Someday I'll walk down golden streets
And I'll talk with the saints whose faith inspired me
Then maybe I will understand
We are the reason for the scars in your hands
We are the marks of the mission
We are the proof of all you've been through
The evidence of sin forgiven
All that we have we offer to you
We followed the call wherever it led us
It was worth every step of the way
We've come through the dark
Bearing the marks of the mission
