The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference by William & Gloria Gaither
Key:DD| Capo:0fr|
Verse 1:
DGDGD
'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
DEmA
Without hope walked the shell of a man
DGEm
Then a hand with a nail-print stretched downward
DADGD
Just one touch then a new life began
Chorus:
DGD
And the old rugged cross made the difference
DEmA
In a life bound for heartache and defeat
DGEm
I will praise Him forever and ever
DADGD
For the cross made the difference for me
Verse 2:
DGDGD
Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
DEmA
Little feet ran in terror to hide
DGEm
Now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter
DADGD
Since the Giver of life moved inside
ChorusVerse 3:
DGDGD
There's a room filled with sad, ashen faces
DEmA
Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom
DGEm
But at the side of a saint there's rejoicing
DADGD
For life can't be sealed in a tomb
Chorus (x's 2)
