Somewhere in the Middle

Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me

Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control

Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle
Are we caught in the middle

Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves

Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control

Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middle

~Casting Crowns


Dont get comfortbable where you are, always let God lead you out of your comfort zone. You never can invite too many people to church, you never can witness to too many people, theres not such a thing as praying too much, and a wore out bible is a good thing! Remember when people think you're crazy thats when God knows your sane, and when sinners laugh and mock you, when they stand in anger with hurtful words, its conviction that drives their hostility. When you think you're too radical, too passionate, too crazy, don't worry you're still not far enough. We can never give God too much, never love Him too much, and never be too radical for Him. So where do you stand? Are you giving it all to Christ or are you somewhere in the middle?
