Loretta Lynn - The 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 some day for a crown. Oh, that old rugged cross so despised by the world Is a wonderous attraction for me For the dear lamb of God left this glory above To bare it to dark calvary. 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...
