Sweetly Broken

Have you ever heard a song and not really heard it?  Then suddenly the Holy Spirit opens your ears so you really hear it?  That happened to me yesterday with the song Sweetly Broken by Jeremy Riddle.  If any one knows of spiritual journey over the past 8-9 months, both the title and chorus resonate with how I have described what God's working in me.  At to that the pure gospel truth of the lyrics and I'm left to simply worship the incredible mercy, grace and love of my Savior and Lord, Redeemer and King!

Sweetly Broken -- Jeremy Riddle

To the cross I look.
To the cross I cling.
Of its suffering I do drink.
Of its work I do sing.
On it my Savior,
both bruised and crushed,
showed that God is love,
and God is just.

Chorus:
At the cross You,
beckon me,
draw me gently,
to my knees and I am,
lost for words so,
lost in love I'm,
sweetly broken, wholly surrendered!

What a priceless gift:
undeserved life
have I been given
through Christ crucified.
You've called me out of death.
You've called me into life.
And I was under Your wrath,
now through the cross, I'm reconciled.

Chorus:
At the cross You,
beckon me,
draw me gently,
to my knees and I am,
lost for words so,
lost in love,
I'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered!

In awe of the cross I must confess,
how wondrous Your redeeming love and how great
is Your faithfulness!

At the cross You,
beckon me,
draw me gently,
to my knees and I am,
lost for words so,
lost in love,
I'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered!
