it was your goodness on the cross that made a way for us if i could praise with every song it wouldn t be enough 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 some day for a crown for all my days my heart will praise no matter what may come though earthly treasures soon will fade oh i m standing on the rock 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 some day for a crown hallelujah christ is risen hallelujah my sins forgiven hallelujah christ lives in me hallelujah i am free hallelujah christ is risen hallelujah my sins forgiven hallelujah christ lives in me hallelujah i am free  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 some day for a crown for a crown for a crown
