There Is Still Power In The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics

Though the world says it s gone away i know the cross still has the power to save.

There is still power in the old rugged cross lyrics.

Christ on the road to calvary tried by sinful men torn and beaten then nailed to a cross of wood this the pow r. There s still power for you and for me. The power of the cross lyrics. In that old rugged cross stained with blood so divine a wondrous beauty i see for twas on that old cross jesus suffered and died to pardon and sanctify me.

For he changed me completely a new life is mine. That is why by the cross i will stay. I believe that this life with it s great mysteries surely someday will come to an end oh but faith will conquer the darkness and death and will lead at last to my friend. Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day.

Yes there s still power in the old rugged cross. There s still power in the old rugged cross today. 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. And i love that old cross where the dearest and best for a world.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross the emblem of suffering and shame. I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it some day for a crown. I believe that the christ who was slain on the cross has the power to change lives today. In the old rugged cross stain d with blood so divine a wondrous beauty i see for the dear lamb of god left his glory above 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 to the old rugged cross i will ever be true.

Oh there s still power in the old rugged cross. And when time has surrendered and earth is no more. Oh that old rugged cross so despised by the world has a wondrous attraction for me for the dear lamb of god left his glory above to bear 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 in the old rugged cross stain d with. So i ll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last i lay down.

There s been a change in me 1951 1955 2008. I ll still cling to that old rugged cross.
