Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered

If you have not heard this song, you absolutely must. This has to be probably one of the most tender and moving songs I have ever heard. This is what the Lord's love for me represents - He doesn't guilt me or harshly force me to choose Him...but rather sweetly beckons me and draws me...until I'm utterly speechless in the presence of His extravant love. I've posted the lyrics below:

Jeremy Riddle - Sweetly Broken
From the album Sweetly Broken

To the cross I look, to the cross I cling
Of its suffering I do drink
Of its 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

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:

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