The Statler Brothers - The Old Rugged Cross

From "The Statler Brothers Show" on The Nashville Network

[@barbaradraxlir1654]

Nobody and I mean nobody does gospel as good as the Statler's! They're the best. That TV show they had was the best show on TNN!!!!!

[@janemichaud6544]

Elvis did a great renditions of hyms.

[@joycebrower8822]

I agree 💯❗

[@mattpatches8395]

No one ever sang this better.

[@christiandelorde8497]

I miss the days when they were on the radio all the time. I've been listening to southern gospel a couple days now. My heart goes from aching to overwhelming joy in instant rollercoaster hills. Thank you Jesus for planting that seed in me. Deep within my rotten, wretched and wicked heart. You have changed me. I feel convicted of my sins now because of you Lord. The sorrow and shame of being a sinner. The joy for being thought of. The joy of being written down in the book of life. Of being Saved..

At age 14, my mothers funeral was my very 1st-and this beautiful hymn was sung-in 1972. Then again in 2020 at my Fathers. Very sentimental.

[@claudiabeasley3227]

This was my grandfather 's (George "Pop" Smith) favorite hymn. We would sit at the piano and sing at the top of our lungs. We loved listening to the Statler Brothers. Thanks for the memories.

[@millycullen1866]

This is my fav of all the gospel songs, it reminds me of my Mom, its fantastic. Jimmy sings it so well.

[@lewiswereb8994]

They could sing it a capella, and sound great as usual. But the piano guy is great also.He plays it right, good old fashioned church accompaniment.

[@JudyMema]

Some Country Singers Slip & Slide on This Song! However the Stalers do not do that On This! What Great Voices They have!

[@CashPresley32]

And Johnny Cash didn't either.

[@timothyflyte9443]

Beautiful.

[@steve75112]

these guys are really good.. great harmonising

[@dawnlake5850]

This is my dad's favorite song. It was his favorite one before he passed away.

[@7655611415]

I pray for a come back someday. God gave them a gift and they need to use it for as long as they can. I loved all their music. They have no idea the pleasure they gave to all of us !!!!!!!!!!!

[@gladimmeandnotyou]

+Faith Hankins can assure you, it's not gonna happen. Just keep the memories. They are grand

[@SheepdogSmokey]

They have inspired many singers, and Gospel singers will always be here, at least until we're all called home and we all join the choir angelic.

The world's best group singers ever

[@CarrieLindsay-yz7yd]

The best there was the best there will ever be. My all time favorites. Love you guys

[@7655611415]

I loved this group so much and was so sad when they retired, The Bible does not speak of retirement. He gave them a gift that should of been used until they could not sing for Jesus. They changed life's . Giving Praise and Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ with their voices giving his message to the world . That is what we are suppose to do in our older age. That is one reason I believe he keeps us here as we get older. It is not about us. It is all about helping people to know God' son !

[@ATrustedAuthority]

When people grow older their voices change. Perhaps they did not "chose" to retire from music? They can (and I hope they do) serve in other ways.

[@EarlJohn61]

Of course the Bible doesn't speak of retirement... When it was written, very few people lived past their 50th birthday... A man living to his 60th birthday would've been like someone living to 100 nowadays (it happens occasionally but you wouldn't want to bet on it!)

[@maxinesomers2819]

This was my dad's favorite song! Brings tears my eyes and lots of memories!!

[@SheepdogSmokey]

My Grandfathers and one Grandmother are there, along with many other friends/family, and I only hope I don't join them too soon, you know? I spread Christ's love and message as best I can. I fail often, but I know when I do and I work to not fail again. We will join them again one day, and when we do, we will know true perfection.
