Alan Jackson – The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics
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
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It’s shame and reproach gladly bear
Then 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
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
The Old Rugged Cross is not just an ordinary song just like that of the world, it’s highly spiritual. For the bible stated that: “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you”. – John 15:19. Furthermore the scripture also state that in the book of John 8:22-24 So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”
Finally, when you keep listening to Goodly songs just like The Old Rugged Cross your relationship with God will be more closer and there will be high tendency that you forget the things of the world. We are in the generation where gospel music doesn’t matter to many youths again, when you check most of the so call Christians of this generation, you will discovered that secular songs are more than christian based songs in their device. Please don’t quote me wrong, i am not saying that all secular songs are bad.
For instance, junks foods are not bad but when you keep consuming every day, there’s a high tendency that you will eventually endangered your health. So it is more better not to take junks foods at all then to even take it once a while. I hope you all understand my opinion on this. Thanks and may God bless you as you consumed better songs.
Daniel 1:12-17
New International Version
12 “Please test(A) your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.”(B) 14 So he agreed to this and tested(C) them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.(D) 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.(E)
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding(F) of all kinds of literature and learning.(G) And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.(H)
