The Old Rugged Cross was loved by my dad. I will cling to the old rugged cross, not because of anything that I have done...but exclusively what Jesus did that dreadful day 2000 years ago. I have sung this song at several funerals on request and it just becomes more and more a reality. It will only be by His Grace and Mercy that I will enter heaven's gate to live eternally with HIM. So many of my loved ones have gone home to be with Jesus, because they clung to the old rugged cross...and I can't wait to see them all again around the Throne of the One who made it possible....JESUS!!
So wonderful ❤ ❤ ❤ I just can't have enough of it. Born in a Muslim family, how wonderfully you have called me to the Old Rugged Cross. Thank you Jesus, I will cling to that cross until my last breathe.
This is by far outside of softly and tenderly one of the best old true gosspell songs ever. the meaning of it goes so far. Cling to the cross and the salvation of Christ.
I WILL some of these days, receive my crown, NOT because I'm a good person, not because I go to church every Sunday, NOT because I'm a honest person, but ONLY because His grace and blood shed on that old rugged cross. Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!
+Dennis Campbell, Faith without works is dead. KJV, not sure how many times he has to say the same thing in one chapter before you believe him.Faith without works is dead, believing in a faith only gospel is a lazy gospel.James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
This song was being sung when I gave my life to the Lord April 12, 1992. I have been in love with my Savior every since then and continue to fall in love with Him. Thank God for such beautiful hymns that still touch lives today!
I know someday I'll see my grandmother and my childhood girlfriend again. I cling to the old rugged cross. I've cherished it since June 30th 2007. I still believe my grandmother walked me to that aisle! She's been gone for 14 yrs.... :'(
I love this song, though I will play it again and again, I never get bored.Because on the cross only I got saved.With out the shedding of Christ's blood I will get lost. Praise the Name of Jesus.
