By The Marks In His Hands

I am on that heavenward road
traveling to a glorious home
held by nailed-marked hands of Christ
my wonderful king
Traveling by day and traveling by night
guiding my steps by heaven's pure light
soon I'll leave this old dark world
sweet joy it will bring

There's been times I've faltered and failed
by old Satan often assailed
but my Lord with outstretched hands
will steady my soul
Many times tired and often I'm down
traveling with hope toward heaven's new ground
all my travels now I make
with Christ in control

I'm traveling upward (traveling up)
to the glorious place (glorious land, sweet)
living forever (living forever),
through the ages we'll spend (ages we'll spend)
Christ made a great promise (made a great promise)
His promises stand (His promises stand)
The road's been paid for (road's been paid for)
By the marks in His hands

On that road there's safety and help
by our God's power bountifully kept
we will keep the faith and praise God all of the way
Wicked men scheme and try to deceive
but that love bought robe will not leave
with God's help, from this great road we never will stray

I'm traveling upward (traveling up)
to the glorious place (glorious land, sweet)
living forever (living forever),
through  the ages we'll spend (ages we'll spend)
Christ made a great promise (made a great promise)
His promises stand (His promises stand)
That road's been paid for (road's been paid for)
