this is my new favorite song. it's very poetic and points to the
duality of God's love and justice at the cross. man...i have to say, i
was tearing this morning when i heard it again on the radio.
God's justice...God's love... the cross...it brings me to my knees, it
sets me on fire, and i am sweetly broken.
my gosh...check out the lyrics!
------------------
Sweetly Broken - Jeremy Riddle
To the cross I look,
to the cross I cling
Of it's suffering I do drink,
of it's work I do sing
For on it my Savior,
both bruised and crushed
Showed that God is love
and God is just
Chorus:
At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love, I'm
sweetly broken, wholly surrendered
Verse 2:
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
Bridge:
In awe of the cross I must confess
How wondrous Your redeeming love and
How great is Your faithfulness
Uh, hi. I'm Laura and I was actually looking online for Sweetly Broken lyrics and stumbled across your site. I'm absolutely amazed at your journaling. Uh, hehe. Actually none of my guy friends ever blog. But anyway, I thought I'd tell you that I admire your passion and keep it up.
From the East Coast, a new fan, Laura
