The Old Rugged Cross

This is an impromptu recording of the Christian hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross." I was in practice mode, kind of jamming with myself when I put my "hat" on and turned on the camera. This is the first and only take and I wanted to get it up on YT in time for this weekend. It has a surprise ending of "Oh Happy Day," well, no longer a surprise is it. LOL!

May you all have a blessed Resurrrection Day (Easter Sunday).

Ratings have been turned off for this video, but comments are always welcomed!

Thank you.

That was a superb rendition... The 'Oh Happy Day' at the end was very cool. Your version of the Old Rugged Cross was great, it was truly a blessing to listen to. I'll fave this one for sure...FrAnK (5* of course!)

:)  Thanks "allshookup" for ur comments. Yeah, I used to "wake them up" in church once in a while with my renditions of old hymns ... lol! When my kids sang with me they use to like to add "Oh Happy Day" to the ned of many songs. LOL! Thanks my friend!
