A Rugged Old Cross
by The Lefevre Quartet

Album: Ascending

All the way back to the garden of Eden
God had accepted just one sacrifice
The blood of the lamb to atone for the sinner
A shadow of one who would pay the dear price

Trial but not guilty since I've been forgiven
In debt but it's settled once and for all
A slave but I'm free now chains have been broken
Was dead but I'm living and it's all because
A payment of love was given in blood
On a rugged old cross

Jesus would die for the ultimate pardon
To all who would come broken and lost
He paid it all with his shame and his suffering
And his blood is still flowing from that old rugged cross

Trial but not guilty since I've been forgiven
In debt but it's settled once and for all
A slave but I'm free now chains have been broken
Was dead but I'm living and it's all because
A payment of love was given in blood
On a rugged old cross

The dear lamb of God left his glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary
On that old cross He suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

Trial but not guilty since I've been forgiven
In debt but it's settled once and for all
A slave but I'm free now chains have been broken
Was dead but I'm living and it's all because
A payment of love was given in blood
On a rugged old cross
On a rugged old cross
A rugged old cross
