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, Till 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. |

In the 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. |

This song resonates Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. I cling to the reminder if the Cross where His blood was shed to cleanse us from our sins. No, not just another song; but a song that speaks to salvation fir those who will accept Jesus Christ; and one day, we shall have our crowns.
