Ronnie Milsap - The Old Rugged Cross lyrics

rate me

<br>

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross<br>

The emblem of suffering and shame<br>

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best<br>

For a world of lost sinners was slain<br>

<br>

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross<br>

Till my trophies at last I lay down<br>

I will cling to the old rugged cross<br>

And exchange it someday for a crown<br>

<br>

O that old rugged cross so despised by the world<br>

Has a wondrous attraction for me<br>

For the dear lamb of God left His glory above<br>

To bear it on dark Calvary<br>

<br>

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross<br>

Till my trophies at last I lay down<br>

I will cling to the old rugged cross<br>

And exchange it someday for a crown<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>
