'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man, oh
But then a hand with a nail-print stretched downward
Just one touch then a new life began
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 ran in terror to hide, oh
But now those walls ring with love, warmth, and laughter
Since the Giver of Life moved inside
Now there's a room filled with sad, ashamed faces
Without hope, death has wrapped them in gloom, oh
But at the side of a Saint there's rejoicing
For life can't be sealed in a tomb, no
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
Yes, the cross made the difference for me (for me)
