Lyrics
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
Oh, that old rugged cross so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear sin on dark Calvary
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll shareDemo Videos
