Old Rugged Cross Lyrics - Then Sings My Soul... Songs For My Mother - Wade Bowen

On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross 

The emblem of suff'ring 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 

Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world 

Has a wondrous attraction to me 

For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above 

To bear it to dark Calvary

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 

In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine 

A wondrous beauty I see 

For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above 

To pardon and sanctify me 

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 

Its shame and reproach gladly bear 

Then He'll call me some day to my home far away 

Where his glory forever I'll share
