Lyrics:

And The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference
in A Life Bound For Heartache And Defeat;
i Will Praise Him Forever And Ever
for The Cross Made The Difference For Me.

'twas A Life Filled With Aimless Desperation
without Hope Walked The Shell Of A Man;
then A Hand With A Nailprint Stretched Downward,
just One Touch Then A New Life Began.

and The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference
in A Life Bound For Heartache And Defeat;
i Will Praise Him Forever And Ever
for The Cross Made The Difference For Me.

barren Walls Echoed Harshness And Anger
little Faces Ran In Terror To Hide;
now Those Walls Ring With Love, Warmth And Laughter,
since The Giver Of Life Moved Inside.

and The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference
in A Life Bound For Heartache And Defeat;
i Will Praise Him Forever And Ever
for The Cross Made The Difference For Me.

there's A Room Filled With Sad, Ashen Faces
without Hope Death Has Wrapped Them In Gloom;
but At The Side Of A Saint There's Rejoicing,
for Life Can't Be Sealed In A Tomb.

and The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference
in A Life Bound For Heartache And Defeat;
i Will Praise Him Forever And Ever
for The Cross Made The Difference For Me.
