He Molded And Built A Small Lonely Hill
That He Knew Would Be Called Calvary.
Then He Made The Seed That Would Grow To Be
Thorns That Would Make His Son Bleed.
He Made A Green Stem, Gave It Leaves And Then
Gave It Sunshine And Rain And Sheltered It With Moss.
He Grew The Tree That He Knew Would Be
Used To Make The Old Rugged Cross.

Nothing Took His Life.
With Love He Gave It.
He Was Crucified
On A Tree That He Created.
With Great Love For Man
God Stayed With His Plan;
He Grew The Tree
So That We Might Go Free.

With Tears In His Eyes
God Looked Down Through Time
Saw Him Spat Upon, Rejected And Mocked
Still He Grew The Tree
That He Knew Would Be
Used To Make The Old Rugged Cross.

Nothing Took His Life
With Love He Gave It.
He Was Crucified
On A Tree That He Created.
With Great Love For Man
God Stayed With His Plan;
He Grew The Tree
So That We Might Go Free.

He Grew The Tree That He Knew Would Be
Used To Make The Old Rugged Cross.
