1.'Twas a
life filled with aimless desperation Without hope walked the shell of a man; Then a hand with a nail print 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.
2.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.
Repeat 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.
