Description

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

  • ANDERS Added 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!
  • Judy Added This was my Dad's favorite, tomorrow is his birthday. Happy Birthday in Heaven, Daddy.
  • connie tyler Added TY Mel. What a nice surprise seeing Jerry again and singing a gospel song too.
  • Patrick Added Nice job by Jerry Lee. Loved the guy in his younger days. He was quite the wild man but a great entertainer.
  • Randy Ferguson Added I was a little disappointed that Jimmy Swaggart wasn't singing it with Jerry Lee. Yet, it is still a great video!
  • Randy Ferguson Added 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!!!
  • Sheri Added 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.
