Ray Price - Old Rugged Cross lyrics

rate me

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

An emblem of sufferin' and shame

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a word of lost sinners were slain

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

[ strings ]

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true

It's 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...
