The Old Rugged Cross

George Bennard's father was a coal miner and died was George was just 16. The young man put aside theological school to care for his mother and sisters. Eventually George was able to complete his ministry training. During a particularly difficult time God revealed to him a deeper understanding of the cross of Christ. That revelation later became the words of this much-loved hymn, The Old Rugged Cross. Listen in as Dr. Robert Morgan shares this touching story.
