Footnotes

Verse 2 alternate lyrics by Evangel Bible Church of Berkeley.

The phrase "emptied Himself" by itself is correct in the sense that Christ emptied Himself of certain divine prerogatives or powers (Philippians 2:7) in His "kenosis" or His leaving His heavenly glory to take on human flesh in the incarnation.  This is different than the "becoming nothing" in certain songs (like Once Again or Your Love Is Amazing) or in the NIV, which is a poor translation of that verse.

However, "emptied Himself of all but love" is not technically correct because Christ didn't empty Himself of ALL divine prerogatives or powers EXCEPT love.  I think we all can sing the phrase without getting stumbled in this theological point, but it does fall short under closer and more technical scrutiny.

The Old Rugged Cross

Key - G

Verse 1

On a 
G
hill far away stood an 
C
old rugged cross,
The 
D
emblem of 
C
suffering and 
G
shame
C
;
And I 
G
love that old cross where the 
C
dearest and best
For a 
D
world of lost 
C
sinners was 
G
slain.

Refrain

So I'll 
D
cherish the old rugged 
G
cross,
Till my 
C
trophies at last I lay 
G
down;
I will 
G
cling to the old rugged 
C
cross,
And ex
G
change it some 
D
day for a 
G
crown.

Verse 2

O that 
G
old rugged cross, so des
C
pised by the world,
Has a 
D
wondrous at
C
traction for 
G
me
C
;
For the 
G
dear Lamb of God left His 
C
glory above
To 
D
bear it to 
C
dark Calva
G
ry.

Verse 3

In that 
G
old rugged cross, stained with 
C
blood so divine,
A wond
D
rous beau
C
ty I 
G
see
C
,
For 'twas 
G
on that old cross Jesus 
C
suffered and died,
To 
D
pardon and 
C
sanctify 
G
me.

Verse 4

To the 
G
old rugged cross I will 
C
ever be true;
Its 
D
shame and rep
C
roach gladly 
G
bear
C
;
Then He'll 
G
call me some day to my 
C
home far away,
Where His 
D
glory for
C
ever I'll 
G
share.
