Verse 1
At the crossroad, that's where He found me
Where He turned my life around, set my feet on higher ground
On the high, high road the world behind me
An old rugged tree made new life for me
And my life began again and the crossroad

Chorus
Oh, the way of the cross, the old rugged cross
The way of the cross led me home
I will lay down my burden
I will fall down on my knees
Thank Jesus for that old rugged cross

Verse 2
At the crossroad a long time ago
I was lost and hardly living and oh so tired
It was a rough road that brought me to this place
Where I bowed my head and prayed and I found amazing grace!
And my life began again at the crossroad

Repeat Chorus 2X

Tag
I will lay down my burden, I will fall down on my knees
Thank Jesus for that old rugged cross
I will lay down my burden, I will fall down on my knees
Thank Jesus for that old rugged cross
I will lay down my burden, I will fall down on my knees
On my knees, thank Jesus for that old rugged cross
Rugged cross!
