Lewis, Jerry Lee - The Old Rugged Cross 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
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
O 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
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
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
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
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

I miss you so much, Chrissy. Mom.
Still Love it ,
My fave version of this - the KILLER!
Thank our Jesus for the immeasurable price He paid for all of mankind. If God didn't withhold His only Son, will He not freely give us ALL things? May God lift every heart each moment you need it, and meet all of your needs in His best way.
I LOVE THE IN LOVING MEMORIES ALBUM , WISH JERRY HAD MADE MORE GOSPEL ALBUMS, ALSO LOVED THAT LINDA GAIL SANG ON THAT ALBUM TOO.
