The Old Rugged Cross - Theme 1930's - 40's Entry for Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week37
Hello everyone this is @jedum once again i would like to share my entry for this week 37 of the Vibes Music Competition,the title of the song Iam going to sing is The Old Rugged Cross.
The Old Rugged Cross" became popular in the 1930s due to the efforts of Homer Rodeheaver, a member of Billy Sunday's band. Rodeheaver bought the rights to the song and used it in his gospel campaigns. By 1939, over 15 million sheet music copies of the song had been sold, and many records had been made
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.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
a wondrous beauty I see,
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
to pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]
To that 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. [Refrain]

For me this is the BEST! So touchy to the heart.
You have an excellent voice...except your old phone quality.☺️
I appreciate you @jedum for being so sincerely consistent posting to @Vibes and @Hive different communities since the beginning regardless of the amount of points.
You endure balancing your time with us... especially to our daughter @Blessie31, your ministry to God, and your work, despite some battles we're facing right now together with the family.
I know life is tough but our Lord Jesus Christ is with us in every step that we take (PSALM 91) making each path smooth and peaceful beyond human understanding, redirecting us toward His perfect will.
Coming your way soon....I know there are a lot of online opportunities and rewards...God willing.
I am so blessed to have you as a father to our children. - Bless and Preach.☺️ You may not have the standard criteria for earthly riches to inherit to our children and to our children's children or even the highest degree of education to be proud of, but you've thought us the best inheritance you can pass on to our children...."The wisdom, fear of the Lord and loving our Lord more than everything."
JUST SO TOUCHED HERE with this song you've sang.☺️❤️🙏🏻
God bless you mahal @jedum.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words mahal @crownrich, and I know that the Lord will always be with us in any situation as long as we continue to trust in him.
