Hymn - The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference Chords

Verse 1:

         G                 C          G
'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
         G                         A7  D7
Without hope walked the shell of a man
        G           G7                     C
Then a hand with a nail-print stretched downward
           G          D7         G
Just one touch then a new life began


Chorus:

         G           C                G
And the old rugged cross made the difference
      G                             A7  D7
In a life bound for heartache and defeat
         G          G7         C
I will praise Him forever and ever
          G               D7          G
For the cross made the difference for me


Verse 2:

         G              C           G
Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
         G                    A7  D7
Little feet ran in terror to hide
            G              G7                 C
Now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter
            G       D7          G
Since the Giver of life moved inside


Repeat Chorus


Verse 3:

           G                C           G
There's a room filled with sad, ashen faces
         G                              A7  D7
Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom
            G         G7              C
But at the side of a saint there's rejoicing
     G              D7         G
For life can't be sealed in a tomb


Repeat Chorus
