The Old Rugged Cross 

I was lost in new age, yoga, bla bla... Meditation, mind reprograming with "energy psychology" and releasing "emotions"... I left all that, a born again christian, and I have found peace. While praying to our Father in Heaven in Jesus Christ's name, when singing psalms, or reading Scripture, or when with fellow brothers and sisters .. and my personality and character is continuously changing while I confess my sins, ask forgiveness... Glory be to God! Because this is only possible through His power, and mercy ❤️ God is my refuge and my light ❤️

The timing of the release couldn’t be more perfect. The Old Rugged Cross is the only reason why we stand. It keeps us from falling. Thank you Lord.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ! This was my Mothers favourite Hymn and it made me cry listening to this. I'm a 67 year old man and thank you for posting this - simply stunning !

"I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown ", blessed Easter ❤❤🙏

아멘~!!! 너무 은혜로운 찬양 감사합니다

Two pairs of twins, nice!! 😁

How beautiful! As we anticipate Resurrection Day this is a precious beginning to our morning. But we know that He is alive ever day and there for us. We look eagerly for the moment we hear His voice calling us and all the saints to Himself. What a day of rejoicing that will be. Thank you for your faithful witness. God’s richest blessings on your ministry.

That is what you call a heavenly choir., only heaven will be better.👍🙏

I appreciate so much the lady singing here and the modesty in dress she has. So important to Christian men.

II Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God..." I'm inclined to believe a lot of the old hymns were also divinely inspired, this one among them, and it's inspiring to hear these two sing it so beautifully. Thank you Tabitha and Michael.

*Lord Jesus visit each one of us with healings blessings,breakthrough good health deliverance favour & miracle.Amen♥️🙏🏽*

What a powerful song, old and yet so alive! The message of the cross, sung by you so poignantly and movingly, touches us and fills our hearts with thanksgiving to Jesus Christ, our Savior for all believing sinners! HIM be the glory this Good Friday and every day! Thanks so much from Germany!

The Story Behind The Hymn During the early years of his ministry, Rev. George Bennard was “praying for a full understanding of the cross and its plan in Christianity.” Consequently, he spent many hours in study, prayer and meditation, until he could say, “I saw the Christ of the cross as if I were seeing John 3:16 leave the printed page, take form and act out the meaning of redemption.” During these days the theme of what was to be his most successful song came to him. He was staying in the Methodist parsonage at Pokagon, Michigan, while engaged in series of service in the Pokagon Church when he finally perfected his song and wrote down the words and music. “Old Rugged Cross Day” is observed annually at this Church, and on a large stone nearby is carved the names of the original singers and the significance of the event. The song became immediately popular. Introduced before a large convention in Chicago, its fame spread rapidly throughout the Christian world.

Acaeldridge. Truly blessed song sang by you all. An May the Lord Truly bless you's Abundantly An May the Lord Touch meny people by this. The Lord JESUS touch people all over the world. An May he break there chains an draw them close to the Father. Amen an Amen

PRAISE THE LORD ! GOTT SEI LOB ! FIE DOMNUL LAUDAT ! Amen. PRAISE and OBEDIENCE, our single way to express our gratitude for Jesus Christ's love and sacrifice.

Beside the beautiful singing how precious is it to see your love for God and each other. Priceless! Thank you!!!!!!!

Thank you Father for the old rugged cross and Your precious Son, our Loving Reedemer, Jesus Christ! Thank you Michael and sister for blessing us again with such heavenly music! God bless you both and your family.

I love this song. It’s spirit reviving! Thanks for bringing this our way.

Good Friday My take onit is that it's actually more important than Easter Sunday. Friday is when God's plan was actually accomplished. Our salvation was complete ! On the cross Jesus said "It is finished! Sunday was proof of the validity of God's plan and the power of Jesus over the grave. HALLEUJAH!

Von Herzen Dank. Ein gesegnetes Osterfest und Gott befohlen.

I have a hunch that these two will be too nice. I really want to meet in heaven. Thank you for the great hymn.

Thank you so much for this beautiful hymn. The message is so uplifting and the harmony terrific. No need for instruments! Also, so nice to see singers modestly dressed and with a Christian demeanor. And it is commendable that they sing those hymns the way they were written with no frills added.

Sooo schön, herzzerreißend. Ich danke Euch, Ihr Lieben.

Extremely well sang by fours I was Extremely blessed,praise God,some more p

This is stunning. Simple song simple words simple tune simply sung. Can’t beat pure voices. Loveliest of hymns, sure to be sung around the throne. Bless you all!

This was sung at my treasured grandmothers funeral. It has a special place in my heart and I got chills listening. Beautiful!

Just heard that my pastor and his wife were killed in a car accident; I am thankful that they are with the Lord, by His grace and His great sacrifice for our sins. It's times like this that I cherish the cross more than ever, knowing I will see him and his wife again. Prayers that our church will be able to move on from this horrific tragedy would be greatly appreciated. God bless you all

Awwee this song got me thinking about about so many things....I hope to be in Heaven with Jesus Christ. AMEN 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽

Que maravilha ! Fora de série.

Thank you, thank you, several months ago after hearing your rendering of Paradise Valley, I requested that you sing this hymn, and it surpasses all of my expectations!!! My mother and I used to sing this and others at funerals when I was in my teens and early 20s, so this brings back so many vivid memories. You truly are blessed with the most accomplished gospel voices, please keep on going, it is you calling.

Praise God for this wonderful song. Both of you are indeed amazing singers. God bless!

Beautiful ❤❤❤He's coming back . Look up, my Dear Brother and Sister, we are going home.

Another oldie with your sister. Beautiful. Pleased you plan doing more with her.

Wow! Beautiful! You should record more hymns with this lady, making this perfect mixed harmony! 😍♥️

You are two beautiful singers. Most amazing voices. God bless you two🙏

My grandmother would play this song on our piano when I was a child. Listening to this rendition brings back sad memories of a time when my grandmother broke her hip and she was whisked away to a nursing home for the elderly where she spent the last years of her life alone without any visitation from her mature adult children - I was too young to understand her feelings of abandonment. May she rest in eternal peace.

Merci Dieu

And this is the song of the moment! 🥺

Amazing voices of just 2 people.

Thanks for this service

God bless you...... lots of love from Ghana

Wunderschön .Mögen die Lieder vielen zum Segen werden. Danke Wir warten schon auf das nächste Lied mit ihrer Schwester 😀

I love this anytime anywhere.

Beatiful song, and beatiful voices. Hamrony singing is so nice. Just like being in heaven. We have this song also in norwegian. Thanks from Norway.

Thank you for this old hymn!! So beautifull with your voices. And thank you at your sister, that we can hear her again!!! May God bless you two and your families

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff’ring and shame, And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best For a world of lost sinners was slain. 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. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, To bear it to dark Calvary.

Beautifully rendered. God bless you

What a treat to wake up to this meaningful song. You and your sister sound so good together. I love your music. I shared this with my family so they can wake up to it too. The Old Rugged Cross is one of my all time favorite Gospel songs. Thank you, and your sister, for sharing. Today is the day that the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad in it.
