THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

Intro: D7-G

G                             C
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross,
    D7                        G
The emblem of suffering and shame
                                   
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
        D7            C           G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Chorus
          D7                     G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
         C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down
                                C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
        G            D7         G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

G                               C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
      D7                        G
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
                                   C
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
           D7       C          G
Where his glory forever I'll share.

Repeat Chorus
          D7                     G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
         C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down
                                C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
        G            D7         G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

                                C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
        G            D7         G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

THANK YOU LORD (FOR THE TRIALS THAT COME MY WAY)

Verse 1
G7 C D7
Thank You Lord
Bm Em
For the trials that come my way
Am D7
In that way I can grow each day
G G7
As I let You lead
C D7
And I thank You Lord
Bm Em
For the patience those trials bring
Am D7
In that process of growing
G G7
I can learn to care

Chorus
C D
But it goes against the way I am
Bm Em
To put my human nature down
Am D C/D D G G7
And let the Spirit take control of all I do
C
‘Cause when those trials come
D Bm Em
My human nature shouts the things to do

Am C/D D G
And God’s soft prompting can be easily ignored

Verse 2

I thank you, Lord,
with each trial I feel inside,
that you're there to help,
lead and guide me away from wrong.
'Cause you promised, Lord,
that with every testing,
that your way of escaping is easier to bear.

Repeat Chorus.

Verse 3

I thank you, Lord,
for the victory that growing brings.
In surrender of everything
life is so worth while.
And I thank you, Lord,
that when everything's put in place,
out in front I can see your face,
and it's there you belong.

Repeat Chorus

Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,

I am Yours.

Would call out through the rain, and calm the storm in me,
    Am               G       F                      G
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
    Am                   G         F                  G
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are,
