There Is Still Power In The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics

There s still power for you and for me.

There is still power in the old rugged cross lyrics. I believe in a hill called mount calvary i ll believe whatever the cost. I ll still cling to that old rugged cross. And when time has surrendered and earth is no more. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross the emblem of suffering and shame.

I believe that the christ who was slain on the cross has the power to change lives today. For he changed me completely a new life is mine. 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. 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.

And i love that old cross where the dearest and best for a world. Yes there s still power in the old rugged cross. So i ll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last i lay down. There s still power in the old rugged cross today.

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.
