Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man, whoa
But then a hand with a nail-print stretched downward
Just one touch then a new life began
[Verse 2]
And the old rugged cross made the difference
In a life bound for heartache and defeat
I will praise Him forever and ever
For the cross made the difference for me
[Verse 3]
Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
Little feet ran in terror to hide, oh
But now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter
Since the giver of life moved inside
[Verse 4]
Now there's a room filled with sad, ashened faces
Without hope, death has wrapped them in gloom, oh
But at the side of a saint, there's rejoicing
For life can't be sealed in a tomb
[Verse 5]
No, and the old rugged cross made the difference
In a life bound for heartache and defeat
I will praise Him forever and ever
For the cross made the difference for me
Yes, the cross made the difference for me (For me)
