Old Rugged Cross Songtext
von Carlene Davis

Mmmm, Yeah

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, Praise the Lord

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


To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true
It′s shame and reproach let me bear, Hallelujah
Then He'll call me (call me)
Call me someday (call me someday)
To my home (to my home) far away
Where His glory (Ooooh) forever I'll share
So thank you Jesus!

So I′ll cherish, (cherish) cherish the old rugged cross
′Till my trophies at last (Ooooh) that I lay down (I lay down)
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it (exchange it) someday for a crown (crown)

And exchange it (exchange it) someday for a crown
