Brief song history
Just a song about redemption. Joe came to me with a partial lyric and asked if I'd see what I could come up with. I'd never heard the Rugged Cross hymn but I found out it is a favorite Christian hymn. I added a few words and music.
Lyrics
I Don't Need Jesus Anymore I was raised in the faith Grandma sang Amazing Grace She taught me all the words to the Old Rugged Cross But those days are gone out of reach And the boy my Grandma tried to teach Was me I guess, but somewhere I got lost I drove back to my hometown By the railroad tracks I found The old church house where we used to pray There were holes in the walls and doors And in the broken glass lying on the floor Was a torn hymnbook signed in Grandma's name Now I'm clinging to the Old Rugged Cross But I can't sing it by myself This old world just does what it pleases Tells me I don't need Jesus anymore My heart is broke and bruised I sure could use some Good News And if Grandma were here She'd show me where to look But I kicked and cried at her grave When she up and passed away I cursed the Lord and threw away His book Chorus On down the road I walked through the gate In a graveyard that felt like home I got down on my knees There lying in the weeds Was the cross from Grandma's stone Now I'm clinging to the Old Rugged Cross But I can't lift it by myself This old world just does what it pleases Tells me I don't need Jesus anymore But I've got no one else And I hear Him calling my name Yeah I'm gonna need Jesus forevermore Yeah I'm gonna need Jesus forevermore
