Lyrics:
Stood by his wife and family through this shit,
Like who approved this shit?
Man whatever, we're doing this.
[Toni Morrison]
"If the racist white person
to the old rugged cross
I believe that this life with its great mysteries
Surely someday will come to an end
Oh, but faith will conquer the darkness
And "jiggaboo" and "spearchucker"
And ugly real ugly
By the local White folks
And the local Negroes too
Just because she was born tobacco brown like James Brown
Ma
stupid paid
I'm tryna get stupid rich, tryna do stupid shit
Try and ball, bitch, forever, whenever, however
Old pride country nigga, campaign
tunes in, and the sermons begun,
Temptation and Satan are both on the run,
Singing I'll Fly Away and The Old Rugged Cross
As he preached the word over
know
Death won't ever take me, no
At that old and rugged cross
Is where You saved my soul
And I know, I know
Wherever You say I'll go
From now on I'm
pastures green
With oil of the spirit anointing my wounds
There I'd rest by the clear healing stream
Oh but now more than ever
I cherish the cross
More than
the whole world was lost.
How the Only Begotten with grace so amazing,
Gave up His life on an old rugged cross.
I don't want to forget so please, tell me
Tell
I wear, I
bought on my own
CHORUS 1
These scarlet sins had a
crimson cost
You nailed my debt to
that old rugged cross
An empty slate, at the
empty
he don’t know the words to ‘The Old Rugged Cross’
But he sings them the best that he can
‘Cause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven
And he
Well if theres a god, god bless the girls who always shine a light
Praise Etta James and Joplin
Praise Haliday and Franklin
Old friends, that bring
voice keeps comin like a STORM
Bass should it be let go, heck no
Want to be hard, cause you failed to be techno
Rugged, ripped and rough hittin like
this song
This Broken Man needs to sing
How great thou art
Sings my soul my savior God
How great thou art
On that old rugged cross
You gave me
surrendered and earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged Cross
the funkadelic relic
(bring in the funk baby, bring it in, bring it)
James Todd Smith and nine years old
When Sugarhill was in control
I'm listenin'
that early
In Morrison lines just beginning
Getting followed by feds like
"your hype cause your blick" but
We still rose from those cold
Broken nights
really thought that I was lost
Til I heard my dying mother sing 'Old Rugged Cross'
And I didn't know, all those years ago
How the years would go
sister be the first one to get smoked
Then I grab your grandma by her weave hair
And whip her old ass with that wooden leg she wear
I'm from the bloody
match your greatness
No season of my life can take the spark off you
The eternal blood from that old rugged cross
Mean you'll always be worthy
You will
On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
An emblem of suffering and shame
Father, my father
Forsaken by the name
When your kids start changing
of that old rugged cross
Son of God, slain for us
What a love, what a cost
We stand forgiven at
We stand forgiven at
We stand forgiven at the cross
to the grand old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross"
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their
Innermost selves with the outpouring
The Tucker boys were friends of mine
They echoed through the lonely pines
Running down the road
And the day the Caldwells died
Before the rugged cross we
could be tomorrow
Our lives are like vapor vapor
Like a rose that blossoms and then dies
The only true life is that rugged cross
Yes it stands to give us
