Guitar Lesson

[G]On a hill far away stood an [C]old rugged cross

The [D7]emblem of suffering and [G]shame

And I love that old cross where the [C]dearest and best

For a [D7]world of lost sinners was [G]slain

So [D7]I’ll cherish the old rugged [G]cross

Till my [C]trophies at last I lay [G]down

I will cling to the old rugged [C]cross

And e[G]xchange it some[D7]day for a [G]crown

O that old rugged cross so [C]despised by the world

Has a [D7]wondrous attraction for [G]me

For the dear lamb of God left [C]His glory above

To [G]bear it on [D7]dark [G]Calvary

So [D7]I’ll cherish the old rugged [G]cross

Till my [C]trophies at last I lay [G]down

I will cling to the old rugged [C]cross

And e[G]xchange it some[D7]day for a [G]crown

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
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

O 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 on 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 someday for a crown
