Happy 4th of July blogger friends!!!!! I am thankful for our independence and yes for a three day weekend!!!! woo-hoo!!!!

Truly my strength comes from the Lord and the words on my mind this past week are the words in the song, "Sweetly Broken". I have been singing to myself continously since hearing this song. You can listen to it here. The song is sung by Jeremy Riddle.


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

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

What a priceless gift, undeserved life
Have I been given
Through Christ crucified

Youve called me out of death
Youve called me into life
And I was under Your wrath
Now through the cross Im reconciled

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