In the Middle - Jimmy Needham

I remember it was later in December when we got the call

Dead of winter cut deep like a splinter from the weight of it all

When the news came, for me the hardest part of all

Was to see you sitting there so brokenhearted

I’d forgotten how it felt to hit the bottom when you suffer pain

It was like tryin' to run a hundred miles in the pourin' rain

But the truth is not even storms can kill this flame

My promise to you always remains

In the middle of the cold, dark night

In the middle it’ll be all right

I will be there, I will be there

And if pain is the ocean you are swimmin' in

If I can’t pull you out, I’m divin' in

Never thought I could love anyone the way that I loved you

And if it took my life I’d fight to protect you, too

But I was helpless and there was nothing I could do

So I’ll just wrap my arms around you and say

In the middle of the cold, dark night

In the middle it’ll be all right

I will be there, I will be there

And if pain is the ocean you are swimmin' in

If I can’t pull you out, I’m divin' in

I believe that God was there

Watching over us

I believe He heard our prayers

He cried along with us

Even when our hearts are scared

He’s closer than He seems

And I can hear Him sing

In the middle of the cold, dark night

In the middle it’ll be all right

I will be there, I will be there

And if pain is the ocean you are swimmin' in

You can rest assured that I’ll be divin' in

In the middle of the cold, dark night

In the middle it’ll be all right

I will be there, I will be there

And when pain is the ocean you are swimmin' in

Like I’ve done before, I’m divin' in

I am divin'

I am divin' in
