The Old Rugged Cross/Oh, The Blood Of Jesus

[Carman, Choir, Both]

[The Old Rugged Cross, Verse 1, spoken]
Oh, that old rugged cross
So very much despised by the world
It still holds a wondrous attraction to me
For the Bible says that it was there
That the dear Lamb of God
Left the glory that he had above
To bear it on dark Calvary

[The Old Rugged Cross, Verse 2]
On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
How I love that old cross
Where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

[The Old Rugged Cross, Chorus]
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Til my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown
I will cling to the old rugged cross
Old ruggеd cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

[Oh, the Blood of Jesus, Chorus]
Oh, thе blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
It washes white as snow

Mmm, oh the blood... of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood... of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
Somebody say, "Oh, the blood...
Oh, the blood of Jesus
It washes white as snow

[Spoken]
One day nearly 2000 years ago, John the Baptist saw Jesus standing along the banks of the Jordan. He pointed his finger and he said these words: "Behold the Lamb." But you see, folks, this Lamb isn't just an ordinary lamb. This Lamb is from God. And this Lamb just doesn't cover, but this Lamb takes sin away. "Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world!" That's why today I can say...

I'm thankful for the blood of Jesus
You know, I'm thankful for the blood of Jesus
Yes, I am
I'm thankful for the blood of Jesus
It washes white as snow

Oh the blood... of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood... of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
It washes white as snow
Yes, it does
It washes white as snow
It washes white as snow
