Green, Al - The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics

At my papa funeral was played I miss him everyday 😢💔 I no he with me every day

All I can do is cry listening to this! My lord please help my mama!

I love this song. Years ago I was struggling with a certain sin. I had two necklaces that I always wore at the same time: one with a cross -pendant and one with a love heart -pendant. Once when I was planning that sin again while doing some chores I felt one of the necklaces got stuck and broke and I heard the pendant drop on the floor. I got afraid and immediately checked which one of the pendants it was and was relieved to find out the cross was still there unharmed. It was the love heart that got broken. I think that was symbolical and made me think of 1. John 4:10: "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." After that I stopped that sin, and it was easy because didn't want it in my life anymore.

Listening to this 1/11/19, 4.30am what a blessing. Uk time.

my dad just passed and had this song sung at his service....my granddaddy used to sing it when he was a kid...and my dad LOVED Al Green!

Remind me of my child hood, The Old Rugged Cross, this is a beautiful song.

The Old rugged cross means a lot to me!

This song brings memories, great ones. The longplay records my mum played, this one she used to repeat...singing along, we didn't know the lyrics exactly (singing in tongues) but it touched us like it still does now. Praise the Lord #teary

The Old Rugged Cross

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

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous and beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

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

Luiggi Michael Riwu-Kaho thank you

❤❤❤❤

Thank you Jesus....

Amen....

I remember when I was 4 or 5 years old my mom would make me sing this to my grandma, aunts and uncles and everyone who would listen. Good ol' days. I thank God for his mercy and grace

And this was my grandma favorite song. I never knew that until today

That song was played at my son's funeral. I was never the same after he died. Now I finally accept that he is better off. He is with Jesus.

Too many people are not aware of Al Green's gospel music .... too bad. Because he sings with such soul and conviction. His magnificent voice transcends R&B AND Gospel !!! Both genres can bring absolute tears to your eyes. Either one will want to make you "shout" AMEN !!!

LaRUE FULWILEY AMEN x

lovethatsong.brendajohnny

I love this song, smooth the soul.

I remember his unique voice. My mum used to play his music all the time in our house growing up. I had no idea what his name is. Praise God I found this song, makes me think about my beautiful mother and I thank Jesus that she grew me up with gospel music. Jesus is Amazing. No words..

I love the green and its Christian music raise it up with the Lord praise praise the Lord

dislikes? why?

This is truly a Blessed and Anointed song, for it has depth and meaning. I found my own song book, found the same song, and sung verse by verse along with Al Green. I truly, truly, give thanks unto God for all He has done for me. For God is an Awesome and Mighty God.
