I left my home, I came so far
From where I was, to where you are
The bitter tears, the lonely ache
The many ways a heart could break
And you were at the center of it all
To free you from the prison of the fall
There was no hill too steep for Me to climb
No road too long and hard to make you Mine
I gave all I had to give and it was worth the cost
To say I love you from an old rugged cross
I took your guilt, I bore your shame
And I would do it all again
My open arms reached out in grace
To pull you in to Love's embrace
It's been spoken in a thousand different ways
Yet the cross said more than words could ever say
There was no hill too steep for Me to climb
No road too long and hard to make you Mine
I gave all I had to give and it was worth the cost
To say I love you from an old rugged cross
Can you hear the echoes from that hill
I loved you then and child, I love you still
There was no hill too steep for Me to climb
No road too long and hard to make you Mine
I gave all I had to give and it was worth the cost
To say I love you, I love you
from an old rugged cross
