THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

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

And I'll cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it someday for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true.

It's shame and reproach gladly bear.

Then he'll call me someday

To my home far away

Where his glory forever I'll share.

Precious Savior, what a powerful love You have shown us.  Thank You for the glory of the cross and for the eternal purpose you accomplished there.  Thank You for the way that You have opened heaven and for the privilege it is now to be called a child of God.  Thank You that Your love endures forever and will never fade.  Thank You for the cross of love that brings life through Your death.  Thank You for enduring the cross and despising the shame.  And thank You for doing it because You love me.  In the power of Your cross of love I pray.  I love You.  Amen.

The Path of His Passion ~ Bill Crowder
Amen
