Old Rugged Cross (Single)

by Kevin Ray Nichols

/

about

Many artists from Crowder to Alabama have done their versions of "Old Rugged Cross" as well. It's a popular hymn with powerful lyrics. The hymn points straight to the cross as our strength in times of struggle, which perfectly fit with the theme of my album. I love when inspiration hits me through singing God's music back to Him in worship.

I hope you enjoy this version of "The Old Rugged Cross." I hope it inspires you like it has me to "cling to the old rugged cross" until we one day, "exchange it for a crown."

lyrics

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 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

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For it was on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

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

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

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

I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

for a crown
for a crown
