The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference Lyrics

'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man;
Then a hand with a nail print stretched downward,
Just one touch then a new life began.

(chorus:)

And the old rugged cross made the difference
In a life bound for heartache and defeat;
I will praise Him forever and ever
For the cross made the difference for me.

Barren walls echoed harshness and anger Little feet ran in terror to hide;
Now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter,
Since the giver of life moved inside.

Now there's a room filled with sad, ashen faces
Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom;
But at the sight of a saint there's rejoicing,
For life can't be sealed in a tomb.

(chorus)
