Lyrics
'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man
Then a hand with a nail print stretched 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
Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
Little feet run in terror to hide
Now those walls ring with love, warmth, and laughter
Since the giver of life moved inside
And 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, oh
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
Writer(s): Gloria Gaither, William J. Gaither
