I Dreamed of the Old Rugged Cross - Carl Smith

I dreamed I’ve stood at the portal at heaven one day

And all I wanted so to enter in But my head bowed in shame when they called my name

For that was my last of sin

Then I could see the gold nails in the hands of my Lord

As he died for the 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 beckon to me And he said come to me I’ll give you rest

I’ll forgive all your sins and cling your soul within

Then I knew he was the one who love me best

Then I could see the gold nails…
