Merle Haggard - The Old Rugged Cross слова песни
(Verse One)On a hill far away, stood an old rugged CrossThe emblem of suffering and shameAnd I love that old Cross, where the dearest and bestFor 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(Verse Two)O that old rugged Cross, so despised by the worldHas a wondrous attraction for meFor the dear Lamb of God, left His glory aboveTo bear it to dark Calvary.(Refrain)(Verse Three)In that old rugged Cross, stained with blood so divineA wondrous beauty I seeFor twas on that old Cross, Jesus suffered and diedTo pardon and sanctify me.(Refrain)(Verse Four)To the old rugged Cross, I will ever be trueIt`s shame and reproach gladly bearThen He`ll call me some day, to my home far awayWhere His glory for ever I`ll share.(Refrain)
