- On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For 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 someday for a crown.
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

The mainstream church of today needs to heed the word of this precious hymn. Jesus died and went through pain and humiliation for our sins, all our sins. So the church of today should not be blessing sinners but asking them to repent. Chris x.
That’s right, they should come to the knowledge of the truth that He shed his precious blood for the atonement of their soul, and by believing in him to receive the gift of eternal life. John 3:16
HALLELUJAH! AMEN! 📿❇🌈
