Alabama - Old Rugged Cross Lyrics






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
I will 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

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

And exchange it someday for a crown

    Whenever I get home to Michigan I go to the Old Rugged Cross memorial. The place it was first performed, a beautiful little church that's being restored and garden. If you're ever in the little village, if it's even big enough to be called that, of Pokagon Michigan it's worth the visit. You can spend 15 min or 2 hours just reflecting.

    These country singers can nail the great hymns of the church. Randy Travis and Alan Jackson have put together some great gospel praise and worship CDs. I've always loved Alabama. They were always a good clean cut group back in the 80s

    The cross is man at his worst and God at his best ! All the sins of the world are placed at the foot of the cross.
    Think of all the atheists and The ACLU that hate the cross when really they are terrified of it. No wonder they are since we know the demons tremble at the mention of Jesus name!
