THE OLD RUGGED CROSS MADE THE DIFFERENCE (3) 6/22/2026
"There's a room filled with sad, ashen faces/ Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom;/ But at the side of a saint there's rejoicing/ For life can't be sealed in a tomb./
"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." [Gaither, 1970]
"Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;" Psalm 33:18
Today's to do: think of how sad life would be without hope; rejoice in Christ; realize it was His death on the cross that made my joy possible; have a good day.
