I Believe in a Hill Lyrics

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.

I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary,

I’ll believe whatever the cost!

And when time has surrendered and earth is no more

I'll still cling to that old rugged cross

I believe that the Christ who was slain on the cross

Has the power to change lives today;

For He changed me completely - a new life is mine,

That is why by the cross I will stay

I believe that this life, with its great mysteries,

Surely someday will come to an end;

But faith will conquer the darkness and death

And will lead me at last to my Friend.

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.
