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.

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.

The cross is all the VALIDATION we need. It reminds us of a Love so deep and authentic that one never has to seek it from people or possessions. No greater love than this that a man would lay down his life for us; to redeem us so that one day his original plan to live with us without sin will be fulfilled.
