The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics by T. Graham Brown

2003

[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
[Chorus]
So I 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
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
To the old rugged cross
I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me someday
To my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share
[Chorus]
So I 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
[Tag]
And exchange it someday for a crown
