The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics & Tabs by Robert Kochis & Robin Kochis
The Old Rugged Cross
guitar chords 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 to me
For the dear Lamb of God
Left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary...
For the dear Lamb of God
Left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary...
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me someday
To my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share...
