The Old Rugged Cross

(Mike Lawrence)
2007-12

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

(Chorus)
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Til my trophies I last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

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

(Chorus)
