"Middle Of It All" lyrics

I've known the shadows in a holy place
I've felt betrayal as it kissed my face
I've seen some towers built, and watched a palace fall
Still, You were in the middle of it all

I've seen seasons come to painful ends
Stood at the edge and seen what could've been
Sometimes it hurts to see the writing on the wall
Still, You were in the middle of it all

Who am I to trade away the bitter for the sweet?
I'm so sick of crying, but these tears can wash Your feet
I'm sorry that I've wondered if You hear me when I call
Still, You are in the middle of it all
You are in the middle of it all

I got tired of searching for stolen things
And I'm still learning what forgiveness means
But God give me strength enough to give it after all
'Cause You are in the middle of it all

Who am I to trade away the bitter for the sweet?
I'm so sick of crying, but these tears can wash Your feet
I'm sorry that I've wondered if You hear me when I call
'Cause You are in the middle of it all
You are in the middle of it all

I see You in the garden, on Your knees
Crying, "Father, take this cup from me"
So who am I to take the bitter from it all?
For every broken heart, You took the fall
And You are in the middle of it all

Who am I to trade away the bitter for the sweet?
I'm so sick of crying, but these tears can wash Your feet
I'm sorry that I've wondered if You hear me when I call
'Cause You are in the middle of it all
You are in the middle of it all
