The Old Rugged Cross
Brad Paisley

Intro:  A  E 
 
On a (A)hill far away stood an (D)old rugged cross  
The (E)emblem of suffering and (A)shame (E) 
And I (A)love that old cross where the (D)dearest and best  
For a (E)world of lost sinners was (A)slain  
 
Chorus  
And I''ll (E)cherish the old rugged (A)cross 
until my (D)trophies at (E)last I lay (A)down  
I will cling to the old rugged (D)cross 
And (A)exchange it some (E)day for a (A)crown 
 
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true  
Its shame and reproach gladly bear 
Then He''ll call me some day to my home far away 
Where His glory forever I''ll share 
 
Repeat chorus
