Rude Cruz

Rude cross was erected! From it the day fled
As a sign of shame and pain!
But I love that cross, on which my Jesus
Gave his life for me, sinner

Yes, I love the message of the cross
Until I die, I will proclaim it
I will also carry my cross
Until I exchange it for a crown

From the glory of heaven, the Lamb of God
Descended to the humiliating Calvary
And this cross has endless attractions for me
For Jesus redeemed me on it

Yes, I love the message of the cross
Until I die, I will proclaim it
I will also carry my cross
Until I exchange it for a crown

Here with Jesus, the shame of the cross
I always want to bear and suffer
He will come to take me, and with Him, in the home
I will have a part in the glory

Yes, I love the message of the cross
Until I die, I will proclaim it
I will also carry my cross
Until I exchange it for a crown
