We are so thrilled to finally offer Gospel music from cousins Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Lee Lewis together—just two boys from Ferriday.
The Old Rugged Cross
Songwriters: George Bennard
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 (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
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross)
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

Not bad, not bad at all, for a man recovering from a stroke It is doubtful anyone could do better under the same circumstances. Without a doubt, God's hand is all over this performance!
This was my Dad's favorite, tomorrow is his birthday. Happy Birthday in Heaven, Daddy.
TY Mel. What a nice surprise seeing Jerry again and singing a gospel song too.
Nice job by Jerry Lee. Loved the guy in his younger days. He was quite the wild man but a great entertainer.
I was a little disappointed that Jimmy Swaggart wasn't singing it with Jerry Lee. Yet, it is still a great video!
I never thought I would see the day that I would hear Jerry Lee sing "The Old Rugged Cross", but it's proof that God never gives up on us. God never gave up on me, and I'm so glad He didn't! May His Name be Praised from everlasting to everlasting!!!
Mel, Thank you so much for this beautiful song. I think it is sung at almost every funeral and still so meaningful to every heart listening.
This made my Sunday, thanks Mel.
It was cool seeing Jerry Lee Lewis again after all these years! Thank you Mel for this one.
Love the song. Nicely done. No comment on the man (out of respect for our elders).
That was simply beautiful. Our country needs to return to those roots. Thank you, Mel.
IS this THE REAL Jerry Lee Lewis? If he is, he hasn't lost a thing over the years! WOW! I loved him then and love him still! Where ya been Jerry?
Very nice and well sung.
This is THE BEST from start to finish!
Remember singing this in 1 room school south of Moose Jaw when I was 7 or 8 years old back in the late 1940's.
Wonderful!
Wonderful !!!
This is my favorite religious hymn. I remember in church when I was a little girl and the minister would say, "please open your hymnals to page 74......I would smile because I knew which hymn it was.......this one!!! My favorite!! Thank you for bringing back that memory.
That was beautiful! Thanks, Mel
Excellent, more gospel please!
