Somewhere In The Middle

This is the song by Casting Crowns that I shared during cell tonight, and as promised, here it is. :)

Just wanted to share some things before jumping straight into the song. In the lyrics of the song, I believe we all can see ourselves. We are always in the middle for God; sometimes hot other times cold, sometimes righteous other times in sin.

Yet in all of these situations when we can't even see ourselves, it's just amazing that God always manage to find us. Always. He never let us go just because we sin again, He never refuse to listen to our concerns, and He never abandon us.

Even when we are somewhere in the middle, His mighty arms are always outstretched forth to us, waiting for our return like the prodigal son. His love never fails.

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.

The Word Is Alive

Not too sure if you guys have heard of this song called "The Word Is Alive" by Casting Crowns? It contains a very strong message that really encouraged me, and I hope it will encourage you and all who stumbles upon this blog post too. :)

The Bible was inscribed over a period of two thousand years, in times of war and in days of peace; by kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers and shepherds. The marvel, is that a library so perfectly cohesive could have been produced by such a diverse crowd over a period of time which staggers the imagination. Jesus is its grand subject, our good is designed, and the glory of God is its end.

Powerful eh? Here's the full song with lyrics. ;)

Many thanks to Adriel for adding the jukebox and with this song as the first track! Love it! :D

Googled for the lyrics but apparently no one uploaded it yet, so I went ahead and typed it out while listening to it. If you guys find any error, please let me know! Thanks!

In the meanwhile, enjoy! ;)

Hear Your voice
A gentle whisper
Calls from deep within

On my knees
My heart it crys out
Longing to draw near

Hide me now under the shadow of Your wings
Lord into Your presence I will run

Take me away with You
I want to be close to You
Take me away into
