- The Old Rugged Cross - Acapella hymn feat. Tabitha Lewis
Lyrics and Music by George Bennard (1913)
"For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 1:18 (NASB)
I always love when my sister and I are able to sing together! The harmony is sweet, but the fellowship is sweeter.

I was lost in new age, yoga, bla bla... Meditation, mind reprograming with "energy psychology" and releasing "emotions"... I left all that, a born again christian, and I have found peace. While praying to our Father in Heaven in Jesus Christ's name, when singing psalms, or reading Scripture, or when with fellow brothers and sisters .. and my personality and character is continuously changing while I confess my sins, ask forgiveness... Glory be to God! Because this is only possible through His power, and mercy ❤️ God is my refuge and my light ❤️
Praise Jesus. Seek him every day.
Lord God I pray you will grow this Christian in you.
The lord does great things man, great things
🤗🙏🙏
Good for you god bless you
Փառք Հիսուսին🙏🙏😊
The timing of the release couldn’t be more perfect. The Old Rugged Cross is the only reason why we stand. It keeps us from falling. Thank you Lord.
Amen!!
The cross is important but the resurrection was what makes it all. Victory over sin and death. Praise The Lord. He is alive. I love your songs. I was just scrolling through utube and found you.
Amen.

And i guess youre an expert on timing your release? 🐺
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ! This was my Mothers favourite Hymn and it made me cry listening to this. I'm a 67 year old man and thank you for posting this - simply stunning !
So good.
This was one Grampa’s favorites. We sang it together working the garden or driving. He taught me how to sing, God taught me through him how to be a man.
My mother's favorite, too. Oh, how I miss my mom.
Same here. It’s so wonderful to be linked to loved ones that have passed through the beauty of hymns like this.
67 is still very young.....😅
That is what you call a heavenly choir., only heaven will be better.👍🙏
II Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God..." I'm inclined to believe a lot of the old hymns were also divinely inspired, this one among them, and it's inspiring to hear these two sing it so beautifully. Thank you Tabitha and Michael.
Extremely well sang by fours I was Extremely blessed,praise God,some more p
Could you please come with similar which I will be greatly blessed,thank you lord.
How beautiful! As we anticipate Resurrection Day this is a precious beginning to our morning. But we know that He is alive ever day and there for us. We look eagerly for the moment we hear His voice calling us and all the saints to Himself. What a day of rejoicing that will be. Thank you for your faithful witness. God’s richest blessings on your ministry.

Thank you Father for the old rugged cross and Your precious Son, our Loving Reedemer, Jesus Christ! Thank you Michael and sister for blessing us again with such heavenly music! God bless you both and your family.
I love this song. It’s spirit reviving! Thanks for bringing this our way.
Two pairs of twins, nice!! 😁
Amen. I thank God for the Rugged Cross through which He made the provision to be with Him forever. What a day glorious day it will be.
I have a hunch that these two will be too nice. I really want to meet in heaven.
Thank you for the great hymn.
Beside the beautiful singing how precious is it to see your love for God and each other. Priceless! Thank you!!!!!!!
I believe it's his sister.
This was sung at my treasured grandmothers funeral. It has a special place in my heart and I got chills listening. Beautiful!
Just heard that my pastor and his wife were killed in a car accident; I am thankful that they are with the Lord, by His grace and His great sacrifice for our sins. It's times like this that I cherish the cross more than ever, knowing I will see him and his wife again. Prayers that our church will be able to move on from this horrific tragedy would be greatly appreciated. God bless you all
Thank you so much for this beautiful hymn. The message is so uplifting and the harmony terrific. No need for instruments! Also, so nice to see singers modestly dressed and with a Christian demeanor. And it is commendable that they sing those hymns the way they were written with no frills added.
This is stunning. Simple song simple words simple tune simply sung. Can’t beat pure voices. Loveliest of hymns, sure to be sung around the throne. Bless you all!
I love these old hymns ❤ my father was a Minister and you could feel GOD moving cos they were sung with all that we had FAITH ❤🤗
HalleluJah !
Merci infiniment SEIGNEUR JÉSUS pour la croix que Tu as acceptée pour ma rédemption !
Talented blessed siblings praising our Lord Jesus! Just amazing!
Awwee this song got me thinking about about so many things....I hope to be in Heaven with Jesus Christ. AMEN 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
You don't have to hope. You can know! Read the Gospel of John in the Bible and believe in Jesus and what He did on the cross for us sinners. He DID rise again and will come again to save us from God's wrath to come. Amazing that Immanuel (God with us) came to die for a sinner such as I. Then examine yourself. 1John in the Bible! Stay in the Bible my friend!
Very beautiful!! So lovely for today as we remember Jesus died for us. Keep them coming...
You two have absolutely amazing voices. Thank you for showing them off. Please never stop!
Acaeldridge.
Truly blessed song sang by you all.
An May the Lord Truly bless you's Abundantly
An May the Lord Touch meny people by this.
The Lord JESUS touch people all over the world.
An May he break there chains an draw them close to the Father.
Amen an Amen
Good Friday My take onit is that it's actually more important than Easter Sunday. Friday is when God's plan was actually accomplished. Our salvation was complete ! On the cross Jesus said "It is finished! Sunday was proof of the validity of God's plan and the power of Jesus over the grave. HALLEUJAH!
Thank you both….. Finally, you have released another video with you beautiful sister. This sounds so Great and is so needed by we listeners…. Please give us more…. Thanks and Bless you both I this Ministry…..

The Story Behind The Hymn
During the early years of his ministry, Rev. George Bennard was “praying for a full understanding of the cross and its plan in Christianity.”
Consequently, he spent many hours in study, prayer and meditation, until he could say, “I saw the Christ of the cross as if I were seeing John 3:16 leave the printed page, take form and act out the meaning of redemption.”
During these days the theme of what was to be his most successful song came to him.
He was staying in the Methodist parsonage at Pokagon, Michigan, while engaged in series of service in the Pokagon Church when he finally perfected his song and wrote down the words and music.
“Old Rugged Cross Day” is observed annually at this Church, and on a large stone nearby is carved the names of the original singers and the significance of the event.
The song became immediately popular.
Introduced before a large convention in Chicago, its fame spread rapidly throughout the Christian world.
Thank-you for sharing the story with us.
I'm not methodist but it would be difficult to overestimate the value of methodist contributions to the hymnody of the Christian church!
O my goodness!!! 😲 The other day, my grandma and I were listening to some of your songs and talking about how great it would be to hear The Old Rugged Cross sung and here it is!!! 😄 I can't believe it!! 😆 This is amazing!! 💯 You and your sister blend so well together!! 🎵 God bless you both and Happy Easter!! 🙏🏻✝️❤️

We listen to your music while driving to church each week. It always sets the right mindset for worship.
It’s always great…but even greater still when your sister sings the female parts. Can’t beat family harmony!😊
I’m very glad to know you put the songs to good use. About 15 years ago, my sister gave me a cd of acapella hymns. I would often listen to them on the way to church/work as well, and it gave me a deep seeded desire to do something like that too.
@@Acapeldridge I am so glad you did..I love all your work.Your family is truly blessed.Please share more of your harmonizing with your Sister Tabitha .You are such a blessing to all who hear and join you in our praise and adoration to our One True God .To Him be the Glory and Honor forever.Amen
I'm sooooooo blessed by this hymn I cant stop playing it ever......
I appreciate so much the lady singing here and the modesty in dress she has. So important to Christian men.
Thank you, thank you, several months ago after hearing your rendering of Paradise Valley, I requested that you sing this hymn, and it surpasses all of my expectations!!! My mother and I used to sing this and others at funerals when I was in my teens and early 20s, so this brings back so many vivid memories. You truly are blessed with the most accomplished gospel voices, please keep on going, it is you calling.
Sooo schön, herzzerreißend. Ich danke Euch, Ihr Lieben.
"Soo beautiful, it breaks one's heart.
I Thank You, beloved !"
(translation from German)
In Jesus Holy name and In Jesus Holiness we all Pray, Amen
Amém Senhor Jesus! Obrigada por tão grande Amor por nós! " Rude Cruz" , fala direto aos nossos corações. Obrigada meu Deus, por nos amares tanto!!
Wow! Beautiful! You should record more hymns with this lady, making this perfect mixed harmony! 😍♥️
Praise God for this wonderful song. Both of you are indeed amazing singers. God bless!
Also this is truly a taste of heaven.👍🙏
My grandmother would play this song on our piano when I was a child. Listening to this rendition brings back sad memories of a time when my grandmother broke her hip and she was whisked away to a nursing home for the elderly where she spent the last years of her life alone without any visitation from her mature adult children - I was too young to understand her feelings of abandonment. May she rest in eternal peace.
Happy Sabbath, keep holding that old rugged cross.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame,
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Maravilloso. Siempre es un placer escuchar esos himnos que alaban a nuestro Salvador Jesucristo. 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Amen j
Amén
Así es 😊
And this is the song of the moment! 🥺
You are two beautiful singers. Most amazing voices. God bless you two🙏
Thank you for this old hymn!! So beautifull with your voices. And thank you at your sister, that we can hear her again!!!
May God bless you two and your families
Merci Dieu
What a Good Friday blessing - thank you to both of you.
What a treat to wake up to this meaningful song. You and your sister sound so good together. I love your music. I shared this with my family so they can wake up to it too. The Old Rugged Cross is one of my all time favorite Gospel songs. Thank you, and your sister, for sharing. Today is the day that the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad in it.
God bless you...... lots of love from Ghana
To GOD be the GLory. Amen

Beatiful song, and beatiful voices. Hamrony singing is so nice. Just like being in heaven. We have this song also in norwegian. Thanks from Norway.

Thank you, it was perfect. Thank you for bringing back the old hymns the churches have taken out. I enjoy singing bass with you.
Lovely rendition of an old favourite. How empty modern hymns are compared to this.
I wanted this hymn cover for so long and it's finally here! Praise Jesus!
I love this anytime anywhere.
One of the greatest songs of all time (How great thou art, Holy, Holy, Holy & It is well)
Thanks so much for this channel. My 6 year old daughter looks forward to watching 2 or 3 videos each night as part of our bedtime routine.
Amazing voices of just 2 people.
