Old Rugged Cross Lyrics by Alyssa Wade

My Father’s World

0

[Verse 1]
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
O that rugged cross, so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
He left it for dark Calvary
[Chorus]
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
[Verse 2]
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
O that rugged cross, so despised by this sick and fallen world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
He left it for dark Calvary
[Chorus]
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
[Outro]
Exchange someday for a crown
Yes, someday I'll exchange it for a crown
