There are things as we travel
This earth's shifting sands
That transcends all the reason of man
But the things that matter
The most in this world
They can never be held in our hands

I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary
And I'll believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

I believe that the Christ
Who was slain on the cross
Has the power to change lives today
For He saved me completely
And a new life is mine
That is why by the cross I will stay

I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary
Oh, yes, I'll believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
I will cling to the old rugged cross
