Old Rugged Cross with lyrics

I also have Alan Jackson's the Old Rugged Cross (look for it) This one is Anne Murray who has a voice, that I think is very powerful, yet so wonderful to your ears.
(they are both great)

You tell me who sings it better?

@3ss3xG1rl Sorry to hear about your Grandfather

Do you know what the cross represents? I'm going to assume your Grandfather knew, it's the reason they played for him, and for you. He knew that those who accepted the Cross accepted Christ and His blood atonement for mans sins. It is the only way to see our loved one in the life after death, they knew Christ as our savior.... Ask Christ to reveal himself to you, ask for that sign so you can believe. He'll reveal himself to you. God bless

Im only 13 and I love this song :)

I dont know why it just sticks to me.. :)

@munchkins44 Many love this song and I know why it sticks to you.

Christ said He would never leave or forsake us.

You have the holy spirit, obliviously you know exactly who Christ is.

@munchkins44 - Isn't ironic that your sign ended with 44. I was born in 1944, joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1967, and the very first time I went to church in boot camp, this song was sung by the Marine choir during that service. It's been my very favorite song ever since. God bless and take care. Gunny Sergeant P. Mikaele USMC (Ret)

@punialofa I just wanted to thank you for your service for what you did for me an my country. I'm not like our president, I won't appoligize for who or what any soldier did for our great nation. You all gave me freedom, a debt that i can't pay back other than give praise for our soldiers, God bless you!

[deathrehab]

the first time i sang this in church choir, i broke to tears. so much power, understanding, so much love. cleanse me o lord, forgive me of my sins

[stepharnos]

@babyyboo1017 so you stopped going because they wouldn't sing your hymn, that's not being religious, that's not even being Christian, you want to know what I mean, find a true fellowship

[stepharnos]

@lascienvacas oh really, your argument is common and commonly flawed, your anger alone shows a biased view, tbh even if there's no heaven I would be willing to serve god because nothing else satisfies

I am from England, and I have to say this song is so beautiful, this was played at my Dad's Funeral when he died aged 45 in 1989, I myself was only 16 and had never been to a funeral, yet to this day I love this song and am now aged 39, Girlfriend and a son aged13, yet I still cried when this was song. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.

PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE PLAN OF SALVATION!!! Jesus bled and died on that "Old Rugged Cross" and rose again the third day and is now seated at the right hand of God, His Father! To all who confess their sins and accept Jesus as their personal Lord & Savior, He promises life eternal in Heaven where there will be no tears, sickness or sorrow. Thank you Jesus for dying for me so that I might have eternal life!

God Bless,

Jeff

Apparently this hymn is most often sung at funerals. But it's really about how we live life- clinging to the cross of Jesus Christ. The whole point of the song is our dependence on his death and resurrection- this is how we live, this gives us purpose, this is our only hope for heaven. Yes, I'll bear the shame of the cross- admitting that my sin deserves this punishment- if it means eternal life with God. It's the most precious gift ever given.

[MsStarlite5]

I love this song, bring tears to my eyes ever time! the cross reminds me that I am never alone in carrying my so called burdens!

One of my Mum's favourite's ... this was sung at my Dad's funeral, it makes me feel emotional even to this day, but it always reminds me of my parents.
