Greetings to all esteemed Hivers.

Its The Open Mic week show of week 262 with the them of "HOLY WEEK"

I'll participate for this week with a song "OLD RUGGED CROSS"

In this song lies some salient meaning it carries. For the theme HOLY WEEK, the song fits in perfectly for me.

The composer showcased an emotional lift about a certain man who willingly accepted to suffer. Exposing himself and everything about him. All under him were exposed to the persecutors and executioners.

At a point, his skin were all attached together with his cloths because of torture and torment, beating and whipping.

The man named JESUS CHRIST accepted to undergo all these trails just to save the entire world. His BODY was no longer beautiful to behold. His face was no longer cute to approach; yet with the drops of blood from that face, we saw happiness and satisfaction and so became healed, saved and free.

We have nothing to express more than showing appreciation and be thankful.

    LYRICS:

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame,
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

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 exchange it some day for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.

It's indeed amazing.
