Lyrics The Old Rugged Cross - Bart Millard

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
So Ill 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
O 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
So Ill 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
So Ill 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
