With Resurrection Sunday on the horizon I believe it is all summed up in a special song, “The Old Rugged Cross”
1 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;
Stanza-
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
2 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.
3 In the 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.
Amen! Much blessings your way! Love Mel
