Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I believe in a hill called mount calvary

I believe whatever the cost

And when time has surrendered 

And earth is no more

I'll still cling to the old rugged cross


I believe that this life with its great mysteries

Surely someday will come to an end

But faith will conquer the darkness and death

And will lead at last to my friend


I believe that the Christ

Who was slain on the cross

Has the power to change lives today

For He changed me completely 

A new life is mine

And that is why by the cross 

I will stay 


I believe in a hill called mount calvary

I believe whatever the cost

And when time has surrendered 

And earth is no more

I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
