Song Meaning
A contemplative hymn that turns the shame of the cross into a source of profound hope. The opening image of the 'rude cross' from which daylight fled sets a somber tone, but the singer's gaze shifts to Jesus who gave His life there for sinners. The chorus declares a lifelong commitment to proclaim this message and to carry one's own cross, anticipating an exchange for a crown. The verses trace Christ's descent from heavenly glory to the humiliating Calvary, emphasizing that this cross holds endless attractions because it brought salvation. The song rejoices in the grace and light that flow from the cross, leading to personal sanctification, and expresses a willingness to bear its reproach, looking forward to the day when Christ will take the believer home to share in His glory. It is a classic hymn of the cross, blending adoration, personal devotion, and eschatological hope.

Rude cruz se erigiu,
Dela o dia fugiu,
Como emblema de vergonha e dor;
Mas contemplo esta cruz,
Porque nela Jesus
Deu a vida por mim pecador.
Sim eu amo a mensagem da cruz
Té morrer eu a vou proclamar
Levarei eu também minha cruz
Té por uma coroa trocar
Desde a glória dos céus,
O cordeiro de Deus,
Ao calvário humilhante baixou;
Essa cruz tem prá mim
Atrativos sem fim,
Porque nela Jesus me salvou
[Coro]
Nesta cruz padeceu
E por mim já morreu,
Meu Jesus para dar-me
O perdão;
E eu me alegro na cruz,
Dela vem graça e luz
Pra minha santificação
[Coro]
E eu aqui com Jesus,
A vergonha da cruz
Quero sempre levar e sofrer;
Cristo vem me buscar, e com Ele, no lar,
Uma parte da glória hei de ter
