LYRICS:
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suff'ring 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
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary
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
In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To pardon and sanctify me
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
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
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

I lost my grandma a few hours ago to Alzheimers. I remember when I was a teenager, she sat playing and singing this song at her piano. She made me promise to play it at her funeral. With Covid messing everything up, I don't know exactly what that will be like. One way or another it will be played. In this moment, this song is making me feel so much closer to her. She passionately loved Jesus her whole earthly life. I know where she is and can only imagine the joy she feels. My heart selfishly still aches with a pain I can't ease.

Andrea Beth, I am so sorry you lost your grandma during this stupid, hyped up, fear based , 99.5 recovery rate pandemic. If the medical community had not fallen into all the drama, people could have been with their loved ones as they passed. My heart hurts for .you. I adored my grandma and lost her in 2005, I was her doll. I hope you are feeling better now How blessed she was to have such a beautiful young lady as you for a granddaughter. Remember " we do not mourn like those who have no hope " bible. Amen

[@andreabeth2352]

@@pearlharbor4790 Thank you! I wish things could have been different and I could have been holding her hand, as I did with my grandpa when he passed in 2012. It still hurts, missing her, but I have taken great comfort in knowing how strong her faith was. I know she is at peace and no longer suffering. She's no longer alone, as I am sure she must have felt battling Alzheimers and also being locked away during this sham pandemic. Eternity is a mighty long time, and our time here is only a blip when measuring time that way. Someday, I'll get to hug her again and until that time comes, I want to live a life worthy of going home.

My great grandmother battled 3 jobs, cancer, taking care of her 4 girls and her husband, all during the Great Depression. She was a charming, funny and caring soul who took anyone into her home with open arms. I remember going to her house during Christmas, getting to open up presents on her living room floor. I still remember the distinct smell of lilac air freshener she used. After her husband (my great grandfather) died, she lived on her own for around 5 years, cleaning, doing dishes, cooking her own food, even weed-wacking her front yard. Gardening in her front yard was always her favorite activity when she had free time, even though she barely had anything due to all her tasks as a mother, as she believed the outside had to look just as good as the inside. During the summers she was often in her yard, planting tulips, her favorite. Even with battling cancer, she never gave up. She never stopped smiling. And that may be one of the reasons why she beat it. She got to see her children grow up, get married, have children of their own, and watch her grandchildren marry and have their children. As she got older, she sewed and crocheted things like bears, handkerchiefs, etc. As she aged, her stitches became more crooked, less perfect. Which made them all the more special. In 2015, she was sent to a nursing home, finally getting to be taken care of like she deserved, though she put up a pretty good fight 😅. She soon developed dementia. Her favorite things were her babydoll, that she always thought was a real baby, and her pink stuffed monkey. Her 4 daughters, now in their 60s-70s, visited her frequently. Sadly, when the pandemic struck, most of her distant family could no longer see her. Recently, she fell out of her wheelchair, and broke her collarbone. She was in bed with her daughters right beside her, as she died of a stroke. On January of 2024, her service was held at a local church. This song was played as a hymn. She was 98 years old, and she lived the life most could only dream of. Now her body lays beside her husband, but her spirit is up in the sky with him, where she’s happy, healthy, and she remembers everything. May she rest in peace. ❤

My mother just recently passed this month. This version was played at her funeral. I can't listen to it without tears. My grandmother's favorite hymn was also the Rugged Cross and played at her funeral. This has so many feelings of two extraordinary women who held faith in God close to their heart. My grandmother was southern Baptist and my mother Catholic. In these hymn it breaks barriers not so much as the religion matters, but the very soul the body contains. I hope to be that example to my own son. Im glad to be able to hear this song by this particular artist. It brings their memories closer to me.

I feel so much better for it, but I’m not allowed to go to church because of the lockdown. The wee birds in the garden have noticed a change in me, though.

my great grandfather absolutely loved this song. he had a very bad illness. i'm not particularly sure what it was but it had something to do with his breathing. he always had to wear these things in his nose to help him to breathe. one night, it had stopped working. and he had to be rushed to the hospital. me and my very stressed out grandma, who had to take care of him, a 7 year old me, and her 80 year old mother and stepfather. were so worried. but he slowly got better to come back home on Hospice Care, an at home hospital care type. he had been doing pretty well for a while, but one very early morning, around 3:30 am, we had gotten a call that had said he had passed away in his sleep. we were all crying and mourning. about a month later, we had a funeral for him. we had this song playing at the very end. to this day, as a teen, still come back to this song to remember him. i loved him very much. i hope i get to see him again up there in the clouds one day.
