Sandi Patty The Old Rugged Cross song lyrics

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

The emblem of suffering and shame

And how I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinner was slain

Chorus:

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 someday for a crown

To the old rugged cross I will ever true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He'll call me someday to my home faraway

Where His glory forever I'll share

Chorus

And exchange it someday for a crown
