In the Middle of All This

Verse 1  
In the middle of the ocean, in the midst of change  
Waves keep crashing through me, nothing feels the same  
Chaos in my head, my body’s out of line  
Purpose in the distance like a shoreline I can’t find
I’m so tired I feel my edges starting to unglue  
Like the weight of my whole world is pressing, breaking through  
Trying to stay grounded with no solid ground in sight  
Trying to breathe slowly while my chest is holding tight
Pre-Chorus  
But somewhere in this darkness, there’s a flicker I can’t fake  
A tiny, steady whisper saying, “You are allowed to break.”
Chorus  
I need peace, I need You in this storm  
I need a place where all this hurt can be transformed  
I need guidance when I can’t see the shore  
I need You… and I need me even more  
In the middle of all this, with nothing feeling sure  
Hold me till I remember I can make it through this blur
Verse 2  
Grief moves like an ocean, coming in and then it fades  
I’m fine and then I’m crying, hit by unexpected waves  
Thinking of the one who always made the room feel light  
Here one moment, full of plans… gone in a single night
There were tickets on the table, summers sketched in careful lines  
All the little, quiet futures we had circled in our minds  
Now the dates and destinations echo softly in my chest  
And we’re here with all the questions and the life they never finished best
Pre-Chorus  
I don’t know why this happened or what any of it means  
But I know they’d find a way somehow to try to lift our grief.
Chorus  
I need peace, I need You in this storm  
I need a place where all this hurt can be transformed  
I need guidance when I can’t see the shore  
I need You… and I need me even more  
In the middle of all this, with nothing feeling sure  
Hold me till I remember I can make it through this blur
Bridge  
My mind and body disagree on what is real and true  
My heart is full of questions, but my soul is reaching You  
If there’s purpose in this breaking, I can’t see it from down here  
So I’m laying down my answers, I just need You to be near
Teach me how to stay right here, one breath at a time  
When the past and all the futures try to hijack my mind  
Remind me I’m not failing just because I feel this pain  
I’m a human in the mystery, trying to stand up in the rain
Final Chorus  
I need peace, I need You in this storm  
I need a place where all this love and loss belong  
I need guidance when I can’t see the shore  
I need You… and I need me even more  
In the middle of all this, if I have to walk unsure  
Just don’t let me walk it alone… and I know I’ll endure.
