George Jones - The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics
On a hill far awayStood 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;I will cling to the old rugged cross,And exchange it some day for a crown.--- Instrumental ---To the old rugged crossI will ever be true,Its shame and reproach gladly bear;Then He'll call me some dayTo my home far away,Where His glory forever I'll share.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...
