The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference Chords by Gaither Vocal Band

[C] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ It _ _
[D] _ was a life _ [G] filled with _ aimless _ [D] _ desperation. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] [D] Without _ hope [A] _
_ [Bm] walked the shell _ [E] of [Bb] a _ _ man.
[A] _ _ Oh, but [D] then _ _ [Gb] with a [Bm] nail [Am] print stretched _ [G] downward. _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
Just [D] _ one touch, _ [A] then a new life _ [G] began.
_ And [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
the _ _ old [G] rugged _ _ cross _ [D] made the _ _ difference. _ _ _ _ _
In a _ life [Em] bound [D] for _ heartache and [E] _ defeat. _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] I will praise him [E] _ forever [D] _ _
_ _ [C] [G] and _ ever.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
[D] For the cross _ made [A] the difference [Em] _
_ [D] _ for _ _
_ [G] me. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ Barren _ [G] walls _ echoed _ [D] harshness and _ anger. _ _ _ _
_ Little _ feet [A] _ [Bm] ran in terror _
_ [Bb] to _ [E] hide.
_ [A] _ _ Oh, [D] but now those walls [Gb] ring with [D] _ [Gb] love, _ [C] warmth [G] _ and [Em] laughter. _ _ _ _
[D] Since the _ giver [A] of life _
_ [Bb] moved _ _ _ [Cm] inside.
_ _ _ [Bb]
Now _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
there's a room _ [Ab] _
filled with _ _ sad, _ _ [Eb] ashen _ [Ab] faces.
[Eb] _ _ _ _
_ Without [Cm] _ _
hope, _ _ _ [Gm] death [A] has [Gm] wrapped them _ in [Db] _ _ _ [B] gloom.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ Oh, but [Eb] at the _ sight of a _ saint _ [Ab] _ there's _ _
_ [A] _ _ rejoicing.
[F] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Why can't we see _ [Eb] _ in a _
_ [Ab] true new _ _ [Eb] way?
_ [Fm] _ _ [Eb]
Oh, but [Ab] the _ cross made [Eb] the _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] difference.
In a _ life [Ab] bound [Eb] for _ heartache and [F] _ _ defeat. _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [B] I [E] will praise _ _
_ [D] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [E] _ him forever and ever.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Dbm] For _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] the _
[E] cross _ _ made [B] the difference _ _
_ [A] for _ me.
