'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation  Without hope walked the shell of a man;  Then a hand with a nailprint stretched downward,  Just one touch then a new life began.    (chorus:)    And the old rugged cross made the difference  In a life bound for heartache and defeat;  I will praise Him forever and ever  For the cross made the difference for me.    Barren walls echoed harshness and anger  Little feet run in terror to hide;  Now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter,  Since the giver of life moved inside.    (chorus)    There's a room filled with sad, ashen faces  Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom;  But at the side of a saint there's rejoicing,  For life can't be sealed in a tomb.    (chorus)    these lyrics are submitted by FF5 Fan
