Sweetly broken (Jeremy Riddle)

To the cross, I look, and to the cross, I cling
Of it's 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 

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 
Yeah, yeah, oh Lord 

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 

Refrain

And in awe of the cross, I must confess
How wondrous Your redeeming love
And how great is Your faithfulness 

Refrain 

Yeah, yeah, I'm broken for you
I'm broken for you, my Lord, yeah Jesus,
Your love is there I am sweetly broken
