about

A song that is near and dear to my heart. I recorded this song for my grandparents Christmas present, for it's my grandpa's favorite. I wanted to share it with you because this song means something to me, and I hope it'll mean something to you. All in good time.

lyrics

On a hill far away
Stood and Old Rugged Cross
The emblem of suffering and shame

And I loved that old cross
For the dearest and best
In a world of lost sinners were slain

And I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
Til my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

To the Old Rugged Cross
I will ever be true
Its shame and remorse
I gladly bear

And He'll call me someday
To my Home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share

And I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
Til my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

I never said that my music was good. I just like recording. Listen to my stuff. Or don't. You're your own person.
