The Old Rugged Cross

Alan Jackson

Transposer:

This is a simple version. If you listen to the bass line you’ll hear that there are some inversions. But the way that I have it written here sounds just fine. The Old Rugged Cross Intro Verse 1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown. Verse 2 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away Where His glory forever I’ll share. Chorus 2 And I’ll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown. I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown.

Cette chanson évoque la symbolique puissante d'une croix ancienne qui représente la souffrance et la rédemption. L'artiste exprime son attachement à cette croix, où le sacrifice du Christ a été accompli pour sauver les pécheurs. Il y a une promesse de fidélité envers ce symbole, un engagement à le porter malgré la honte qu'il représente, en attendant le jour où il sera accueilli dans la gloire divine. Le message central tourne autour de l'espoir et de la foi en une vie éternelle, offrant une perspective réconfortante face aux luttes de la vie.
