Just the Rev

I am a vicar in Newport, Wales. I am based at St Paul's City Centre Church, which is a growing lively Anglican Church that likes to do things differently.

I love Chelsea, Chutneys and the occasional Jalfrezi

Got a zillion thoughts about what it means to be broken flying around my brain and then in the midst of all that I just remembered a song from new wine which we have yet to do at St P’s (hint hint) called Sweetly Broken To the cross I look, to the cross I clingOf it’s suffering I do drinkOf it’s work I do singFor on it my Savior both bruised and crushedShowed that God is loveAnd God is justChorus:At the cross You beckon meYou draw me gently to my knees, and I amLost for words, so lost in love,I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrenderedWhat a priceless gift, undeserved lifeHave I been givenThrough Christ crucifiedYou’ve called me out of deathYou’ve called me into lifeAnd I was under Your wrathNow through the cross I’m reconciledChorus:In awe of the cross I must confessHow wondrous Your redeeming love andHow great is Your faithfulness Jesus knew all about brokenness. He knows all about my brokenness. We can know that somehow its gonna be alright.

Sweetly Broken

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

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

Jesus knew all about brokenness. He knows all about my brokenness. We can know that somehow its gonna be alright.
