HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 164-Old rugged cross by Chris Rice ||cover @imaculate50 [ENG/ESP]
Happy new month to everyone,it's another week of hive open mic where we explore songs from all parts of the world.
It's week 164 of hive open mic, and we are to explore the theme "Hopeful'', which was chosen by our community's recent Spotlight Artist @jmis101.
I believe in God as my only hope, even when my hope is against hope.
For every situation there's a reason, God's plan can never be eluded, our hope in God is reciprocal. He also expects somethings from us, so our hope in Him can be fulfilled.
This song talks about how having hope in God works, cling to the old rugged cross, and we'll never be put to shame.
Clinging to the old rugged cross means trusting in God and surrendering to Him at at the end so our efforts will be crown.
I chose this song because of the lyrics content and context,it depicts a powerful meaning about how God works,our hope in Him will never be shamed ,if we follow His words.

Feliz nuevo mes a todos, es otra semana de micrófono abierto de Hive donde exploramos canciones de todas partes del mundo.
Es la semana 164 de micrófono abierto de Hive y vamos a explorar el tema "Hopeful", que fue elegido por el artista destacado reciente de nuestra comunidad @jmis101.
Creo en Dios como mi única esperanza, incluso cuando mi esperanza es contra esperanza.
Para cada situación hay una razón, el plan de Dios nunca puede ser eludido, nuestra esperanza en Dios es recíproca. Él también espera algo de nosotros, para que nuestra esperanza en Él se cumpla.
Esta canción habla de cómo funciona tener esperanza en Dios, aférrense a la vieja cruz rugosa, y nunca seremos avergonzados.
Aferrarse a la vieja cruz rugosa significa confiar en Dios y entregarse a Él al final para que nuestros esfuerzos sean coronados.
Elegí esta canción por el contenido de la letra y el contexto, representa un significado poderoso sobre cómo Dios trabaja, nuestra esperanza en Él nunca será avergonzada, si seguimos sus palabras.
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
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
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary
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
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share
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
