In the middle of it all, Lord,
whatever « all » might be…
In the thick of what confounds me
and hijacks my attention…
Apart from all the nonsense
that clutters up my life…
Regardless of my problems,
my anxieties and fears…
In spite of doubts that simmer
in my thoughts and in my heart…
Aside from what distracts me
and disturbs my concentration…
Come to my assistance,
help me find my way to peace…
Help me make some quiet time
and find a place where I can rest…
Help me share with you the whole
of what my soul holds deep inside…
Help me lay aside my burdens
and the troubles of this day…
Help me rest with you beside me,
there to calm my anxious soul…
Help me seek in you the strength I need
to do the next right thing…
Help me hear your word, your wisdom
and your truth to guide my way…
In the middle of it all, Lord,
whatever « all » might be,
be a haven for my prayer
and the peace my heart desires…
Protect me, Lord, while I’m awake,
keep vigil while I sleep
that in the middle of it all
I find my peace and joy in you…
When the weight of the world
Is pulling you down
And all that you can see
Are tears on the ground
I know it’s hard to understand
That he is really there
And it’s harder to believe
That he really cares
Is pulling you down
And all that you can see
Are tears on the ground
I know it’s hard to understand
That he is really there
And it’s harder to believe
That he really cares
But in the middle of it all
He’s always close beside you
To constantly remind you
That it’s from his strength you draw
And when the nights just linger on
He’s not that far at all
He’ll never let you fall
He’ll hear you when you call
In the middle of it all
You’ll find peace you can’t explain
And hope to see you through
At the mention of his name
He’ll be there to comfort you
When everything goes wrong
His praise will be your song
And joy from deep within
Will fill your heart again
When nights just lingers on
He’s not that far at all
He’ll never let you fall
He’ll hear you when you call
In the middle of it all
He’ll never let you fall
He’ll hear you when you call
In the middle of it all
