Lyrics

Verse 1

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

Chorus

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

Verse 2

In that old rugged cross
Stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
On that old rugged cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

Chorus

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

Ghost Ship - "To the End"

Tuesday, September 3, 2019

To The End is Ghost Ship’s third full length record. The album tells the story of God’s unending love for His people through the lens of time: He loved us in our past, He loves us now, and He’ll love us for eternity. To The End is written from the perspective of our need for restoration and God’s ability to provide it both now and for forever. The songs were written over a four year period of brokenness and healing, with each song accessing a different snapshot of God speaking into despair and providing hope.
