I Dreamed Of The Old Rugged Cross

Song Author Marijohn Wilkin og Carl Smith Performer: Carl Smith Submitted by: Anonymous

[G]I dreamed I stood at the portal of [C]heaven one [G]day

And [D7]oh I wanted so to enter [G]in

But my head bowed in shame when [C]they called my [G]name

For [D7]there was my life of [G]sin

Then I could [C]see the cruel nails in the [G]hands of my Lord

As He died for a world that was [D7]lost

Then I [C]woke and I cried have [G]mercy I prayed

I had dreamed of the [D7]old rugged [G]cross

I could see the dear Lord as He [C]beckoned to [G]me

And He [D7]said come to Me I'll give you [G]rest

I'll forgive all your sins and I'll [C]clench your soul [G]within

Then I [D7]knew He was the one who loved me [G]best

Then I could [C]see the cruel nails in the [G]hands of my Lord

As He died for a world that was [D7]lost

Then I [C]woke and I cried have [G]mercy I prayed

I had dreamed of the [D7]old rugged [G]cross

I dreamed I stood at the portal of heaven one day
And oh I wanted so to enter in
But my head bowed in shame when they called my name
For there was my life of sin

Then I could see the cruel nails in the hands of my Lord
As He died for a world that was lost
Then I woke and I cried have mercy I prayed
I had dreamed of the old rugged cross

I could see the dear Lord as He beckoned to me
And He said come to Me I'll give you rest
I'll forgive all your sins and I'll clench your soul within
Then I knew He was the one who loved me best

Then I could see the cruel nails in the hands of my Lord
As He died for a world that was lost
Then I woke and I cried have mercy I prayed
I had dreamed of the old rugged cross
