I Will Cling To the Old

For God so loved the world
That He sent His only Son
That whosoever will...
Really!?!
But not these and those
Who corrupt the image
Of what looks good
...so, I will cling, to the Old Rugged Cross

Nothing can separate us from LOVE
Neither death nor life
Nor angels, nor principalities...
Really!?!
But not this and that
Causing eternal damnation
To the influenced soul
...so, I will cling, to the Old Rugged Cross

If any man be in Christ
He is a new creature
Behold old things are passed away
Really!?!
Surely not thingamagigs and whatchamacallits
Who look like hell itself
Bringing babies to question
...nope, absolutely not...
........so I will cling to the OLD RUGGED CROSS

Forever marked by FEAR
