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.
