By The Marks
Chorus
Call -- By the marks
Response -- By the marks on their bodies bare
Call -- By the hoods
Response -- By the hoods that the prisoners wear
Everyone -- You can tell humanity is in despair
Everyone -- By the people who just don't care
(count 1- and) -- Jesus healed the sick and lame
He used his power to ease their pain
In his heart, he believed in good
Resp (count 1- and) -- In his heart, he believed in good
Everyone -- That's the rock on which Jesus stood
Repeat chorus
(count 1- and) -- Hypocrites profess to speak in his name
Like the Pharisees, they know no shame
In their hearts, you will find no good
Resp (count 1- and) -- In their hearts, you will find no good
Everyone -- They fell off the rock where Jesus stood
Repeat chorus
If we stand in silence and we turn our face
And we let our leaders commit disgrace
Everyone -- And we don't speak out when we know we should
Everyone -- We're not on the rock where Jesus stood
Repeat chorus
