Rude Cruz

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

CHORUS: 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.
2. 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.
3. On this cross He suffered, despised, died My Jesus to give me forgiveness. I rejoice in the cross, from it comes grace and light For my sanctification.
4. Here, with Jesus, I want to always bear The shame of the cross and suffer; He will come to take me, and with Him, in the home, I will have a share in the glory
