The Old Rugged Cross
by Dream Lab

Album: Hymnotica

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

Was slain

~Chorus~
So I'll cherish the old rugged, cross
'Til my trophies at last, I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged, cross
And exchange it some day for a,
crown

For a crown

To that 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
I will share

~Chorus~

And exchange it some day for a, crown

For a crown

For a crown

For a crown

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 it to dark Calvary

In that 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
