Old Rugged Cross Lyrics - Ray Price

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 some day for a crown 

[ piano ] 

Oh that old rugged cross so despised by the world is a wonderous attraction for me 

For the dear lamb of God left this glory above to bare it to dark calvary 

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross...
