Sapp, Marvin - Old Rugged Cross Lyrics






On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suff'ring 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
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day 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

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

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
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
One of these old days
And exchange it some day for a crown

    I love the fact that Marvin left the song in tact...it still sounds like a hymn that ministers to all the nations of God's earth and not just the "black church". It also has a Christmas holiday feel to it...I think I will add it to my Christmas and New Year's playlist as well.

    Have mercy: "....and exchange it someday for a crown....." that just got me MY LORD!

    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
    And 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
    It's shame and reproach gladly bear
    Then he'll call me someday to my home far away
    Where his glory forever I'll share
    And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
    Till my trophies at last I lay down
    And I will cling to the old rugged cross
    And exchange it some day for a crown
    I will cling to the old rugged cross
    And exchange it some day for a crown

    THERE IS NO WORD IN THE HUMANS KNOWLEDGE TO DESCRIBE THE GRATITUDE OF HEART HOW I TRULY FEEL ABOUT THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. I CAN RUN TO THE CROSS TO FIND PEACE. JOY. KINDNESS. LOVE. RESTORATION. MIRACLE. NEWNESS OF LIFE. IT'S THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE. I FIND HEALING IN THE CROSS. IN THE CROSS I'M REMINDED THAT ALL MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN. THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR YOUR SACRIFICE TO THE CROSS. I'M HUMBLED BY WHAT MEASURES YOU TOOK BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME AND OTHERS. THANK YOU.
