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. |

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. |

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. |

So very humbling. I cannot imagine, still I hope, for forgivness. Why are my blessings so many while so many others suffer so much?
Thank You Jesus for the pain and suffering You experienced on the Cross for me. I'm so unworthy. I'm so very very blessed!

The Rugged Cross though it cost so much, the LORD Jesus Christ bore it in glory that I may bear His yoke which is lighter to enable me walk in victory and the fullness of His Power!

God made it easy for me on the old rugged cross, and I love that old rugged cross where He died.
