THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

hello guys, top of the morning to you all... trust you had a beautiful weekend??? well it's monday and it's back to work... there's an hymn that inspired me this morning and i decided to share with you all... it's Old Rugged Cross

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.



Refrain:
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.


O 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. Refrain

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. Refrain

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
its shame and reproach gladly bear;
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
where his glory forever I'll share. 


DEEP WORDINGS... BRINGING ABOUT DEEP MUSINGS... SELAH ON THIS AS YOU ENTER A NEW WEEK... DO ALL YOU CAN TO CLING TO THE OLD RUGGED CROSS...SO YOU CAN EXCHANGE IT SOMEDAY FOR A CROWN... GOD BLESS YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD...
