The old rugged cross

1
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
  The emblem of suff'ring 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.
2
Oh, 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.
3
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
  A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
  To pardon and sanctify me.

I love and will cling to the Christ of the cross. I do not worship a relic and surely appreciate the cross, but it's my Savior and Lord who I cherish and to whom I will cling.

This song reminds me of the wonders of the cross and the need for me to continue to cling to the cross. Oh I love the old rugged cross where my foe was defeated permanently, victory was won finally and eternally. This same goes for everyone who believes.
