"On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame..." These opening words of The Old Rugged Cross remind us of the depth of Christ’s sacrifice and the power of the gospel. In this episode of HIS Story, we continue our From the Cross to the Crown series by exploring the rich theology of this beloved hymn (#113 in Great Hymns of the Faith).
Through Colossians 1:15-20 and Romans 1:16, we reflect on how the cross—once despised by the world—became the instrument of our salvation. We'll also share a powerful personal testimony of how this hymn deeply impacted a believer nearing his heavenly home.
Plus, we feature a special rendition of The Old Rugged Cross by Reawaken Hymns, bringing the lyrics to life in a way that stirs the heart toward worship.
🎧 Tune in and be reminded of why we cherish the cross—and why, one day, we will exchange it for a crown!
