What In Tarnation?!?!? In the Classroom

This time of the year, we remember the infant Jesus, the answer to a World covered in sin, the answer to prophecy. We remember his humble beginnings, his ordinary parents made great through God. We remember God’s greatest gift to humanity, God plan put into motion.

Recently however, I have been drawn to a song that speaks of God’s endgame. The result of God’s love made into man to walk among us, to die for us.

Sweetly Broken (Link requires iTunes)
by Jeremy Riddle 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
