ricky van shelton - the old rugged cross lyrics
(george bennard)
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.
chorus:
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 some day for a crown.
oh that old rugged, so despised by the world
has a wondrous attraction for me
for the dear lamb of god left his glory above
to bear it to dark calvary.
chorus:
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 some day for a crown.
see that old rugged cross stained with blood so devine
a wonderous beauty i see
for ’twas on that old cross jesus suffered and died
to pardon and sanctify me.
chorus:
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 some day for a crown.
to the old rugged cross i will ever be true
it’s shame and reproach gladly bear
then he’ll call me some day to my home far away
where his glory forever i’ll share.
chorus:
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 some day for a crown.
and exchange it some day for a crown…
