Full Lyrics
WERE YOU THEREVERSE 1
Were you there
When they crucified my Lord?
Were you there
When they crucified my Lord?
Oh sometimes it causes me
To tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there
When they crucified my Lord?
WERE YOU THEREVERSE 2
Were you there
When they nailed him to a tree?...
WERE YOU THEREVERSE 3
Were you there
When they pierced him
in the side?...
WERE YOU THEREVERSE 4
Were you there
When the sun refused to shine?...
WERE YOU THEREVERSE 5
Were you there
When they laid him in the tomb?..
WERE YOU THEREVERSE 6
Were you there
When he rose from out the tomb?
OLD RUGGED CROSSVERSE 1
On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I loved that old cross
Where the dearest and best,
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
OLD RUGGED CROSSREFRAIN
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.
OLD RUGGED CROSSVERSE 2
Oh 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 to dark Calvary.
OLD RUGGED CROSSVERSE 3
In the old rugged cross,
Stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see.
For 'twas on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.
OLD RUGGED CROSSVERSE 4
To the old rugged cross
I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear.
Then he'll call me some day
To my home far away
There his glory for ever I'll share.
