On the cross of Calvary our blessed Saviour died,
|
Gave His life to save the world from loss;
|
In His pain and agony, for every sin to hide,
|
Shed the blood that stained the old rugged cross.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
'Twas His blood, His precious blood that stained the old rugged cross,
|
'Twas His love that paid the awful cost;
|
Oh soul so far astray come and plunge today
|
In the blood that stained the old rugged cross
|
|
[ guitar ]
|
|
To the cross, the rugged cross they nailed His precious hands
|
And in death He fully paid the cost,
|
There is pardon in His love for everyone that stands
|
For the blood that stained the old rugged cross
|
|
[repeat Chorus]
|
|
What an awful death He died to pardon you and me,
|
All alone in agony He tossed,
|
And a world once lost in sin can now be wholly free
|
By the blood that stained the old rugged cross.
|
|
[repeat chorus]
