The Old Rugged Cross

Alan Jackson: On Precious Memories CD

Intro: D7-G

G C

On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross,

D7 G

The emblem of suffering and shame

C

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

D7 C G

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Chorus

D7 G

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

C G

Till my trophies at last I lay down

C

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

G D7 G

And exchange it some day for a crown.

G C

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,

D7 G

It's shame and reproach gladly bear

C

Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,

D7 C G

Where his glory forever I'll share.

Repeat Chorus

D7 G

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

C G

Till my trophies at last I lay down

C

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

G D7 G

And exchange it some day for a crown.

C

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

G D7 G

And exchange it some day for a crown.
