'I Still Cling to the Old Rugged Cross' was written by Marty Funderburk and Buddy Mullins. The words to this great song emphasize that the truths learned in childhood remain vital through adulthood.
'I Still Cling to the Old Rugged Cross' contrasts childhood "Sunday School" lessons with the realities of adult life, declaring that as one grows older, the need for the message of the cross actually increases rather than fades.
The opening verse establishes a sentimental scene of learning that "Jesus died to take my sin away". It views the cross as an essential memory that remains "just as real" years later.
'I Still Cling to the Old Rugged Cross' is ONE of the songs released from a project entitled 'Safe Thus Far'. This project was Arranged by Mike Speck, Lari Goss and Danny Zaloudik and was Orchestrated by Lari Goss, and the audio recording was produced by WORD Music.
The Chorus to this song moves from "believing" (mental assent) and "holding" (steadfastness) to "clinging" (dependence). This progression suggests that life's trials have made the cross a real lifesaver rather than just a religious symbol.
Unlike the original hymn, 'The Old Rugged Cross' which focuses on "cherishing" the cross, this modern version emphasizes the act of "clinging"--a desperate hold on forgiveness and hope in the thick of life's challenges.
