The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics - Sandi Patty

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
