The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference - Live

'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man, oh
But then a hand with a nail print stretched downward
Just one touch, then a new life began

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

Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
Little feet run in terror to hide, oh
But now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter
Since the giver of life moved inside

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

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

Yes, the cross made the difference for me
For me
