In the Middle of the Ocean

Verse 1

I’m in the middle of the ocean, in the midst of change

Waves of thoughts are crashing, everything feels strange

Chaos in my head, and my body’s out of line

Purpose like a far-off shore I just can’t seem to find

Staying in the present feels like holding onto sand

Future like a storm front I don’t understand

Every breath is heavy, every step is sore

I’m tired to my bones and I can’t take much more

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere in this darkness, a tiny light remains

A quiet voice within me, whispering my name

Chorus

I need peace, I need calm in this storm

I need You to hold me when I can’t be strong

I need guidance, I need something to believe

I need You… and I need me

In the middle of the ocean, with nothing left to prove

I just need enough of You and me to make it through

Verse 2

My body feels like it’s collapsing under all this weight

Like the world is getting smaller with every choice I make

Trying to stay grounded when the ground won’t stay

Trying to keep my faith when it’s easier to cave

But messages keep reaching me, like bottles from the tide

Telling me to stay the course, to trust this strange inside

Like I’m meant to be exactly here, in all this in-between

Where everything is breaking… and something new is seen

Pre-Chorus

If there’s a deeper reason, I can’t see it yet

But I can feel a hand on me each time I start to fret

Chorus

I need peace, I need calm in this storm

I need You to hold me when I can’t be strong

I need guidance, I need something to believe

I need You… and I need me

In the middle of the ocean, with nothing left to prove

I just need enough of You and me to make it through

Bridge

Teach me how to breathe here, when the waves are high

Teach me how to trust when I can’t see the sky

Remind me I’m not broken, I’m just being rearranged

That even in the chaos, I am safe inside this change

Let my fear be like the water, let my soul become the boat

Let Your love be every current that still keeps my hope afloat

And when I start to sink beneath the story in my head

Pull me back to this one moment and the truth You’ve always said

Final Chorus

I need peace, I need calm in this storm

I need You to hold me when I can’t be strong

I need guidance, I need something to believe

I need You… and I need me

In the middle of the ocean, I will not let go

I don’t know where I am going… but I’m not alone.
