I hear the Savior say
"Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all"

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross (old rugged cross)
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross (old rugged cross)
And exchange it some day for a crown

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I lay down
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
