As a child back in Sunday school I learned this simple truth Jesus died to take my sins away And I can still remember when He changed my life way back then And the cross is just as real to me today I still believe in the power Of the blood Jesus shared on Mount Calvary And I still hold to the hope That He's gone to prepare a dwelling place for me And I still cling to the promise That there's still forgiveness for the lost I still believe, I still hold and I still cling to the old rugged cross Some may say I'm old enough to stand Without holding His hand But with each passing day I need Him more For He's become my everything And that's the reason why I cling to Calvary and all the cross stands for I still believe in the power Of the blood Jesus shared on Mount Calvary And I still hold to the hope That He's gone to prepare a dwelling place for me And I still cling to the promise That there's still forgiveness for the lost I still believe, I still hold and I still cling to the old rugged cross And I still cling to the promise That there's still forgiveness for the lost I still believe, I still hold and I still cling to the old rugged cross The cross
