Scotty McCreery, an American country singer performs a beautiful rendition of the Christian hymn, ‘The Old Rugged Cross.’

Scotty McCreery who won season 10 of American Idol in 2011 created a place for himself in the hearts of country music fans everywhere.

The Old Rugged Cross’ written by George Bennard in 1913, the song speaks of the writer’s adoration of Christ and His sacrifice at Calvary.

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchanged it someday for a crown

Today as Scotty McCreery sings this familiar hymn, it still reminds us of the remission and forgiveness of sins that we experienced at the Cross of Jesus.

Verse of the Day

“[God the Sovereign Savior] To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said: I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

Psalm 18:1-2
