A=do; 3/4

HIDUP YANG PUTUS ASA TAK BERARTI
Jalan dengan tanpa harapan
Lalu tangan yang berlubang paku
Menjamah jadi hidup baru

Dan kayu yang kasar mengubahku
Jalan hidup yang penuh kegagalan
Kupuji Dia selama-lamanya
Sebab Salib mengubah hidupku

Dan ?ku yakin darah Yesus yang suci
Ssudah mengalir di Kalvari
Bila zaman berlalu dunia mendebu
Ku tetap pegang Salib itu
Ku yakin korban Kristus di atas Salib,
Itu sangat agung dan ajaib
Hidupku sungguh-sungguh menjadi baru,
Ku tetap pegang salib itu

Twas a life fill with aimless desperation,
Without hope walk`d the shell of a man
Then a hand with a nailpraint
Stretch`d downward
Just one touch then a new life began

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

Now I believe The hill of cross called Golgotha
There my Jesus shedding precious blood
Even all changed away gone
But I still holding fast
To that the old rugged cross

I believe Jesus who`s nailed
Has greatest power
Just one touch then a new life began
I believe Jesus for us to die on the cross
And the old rugged cross made difference
