Start Jamming...
[D] On a hill [Am] far away [D] [G] stood an old rugged cross, [A] the emblem of suffering [D] and shame.
And I love that old cross [G] where the dearest and best, [A] for a world of lost sinners [D] was slain.
So [A] I'll cherish the old [D] rugged cross, [G] till my trophies at last I [D] lay down.
I will cling to the old [G] rugged cross, [D] and exchange it [A] someday for [D] a crown.
[A]
[D] Oh, the old rugged cross, [G] so despised by the world, [F] has a [A] wondrous attraction [D] for me.
For the dear Lamb of God [G] left His glory above [A] to bear it to dark [D] Calvary.
So [A] I'll cherish the old [D] rugged cross, till [G] my trophies at last I [D] lay down.
I will cling to [Am] the old [G] rugged cross, and [D] exchange it [A] someday for a [D] crown.
