Jesus In The Middle

Jesus In The Middle
Lyrics by: Darren Wayne Penrose

We made a vow, unsure of what it meant,
Thought love was easy—then came all the dents
Sometimes the silence is louder than the words
Every night we give tomorrow another turn

So many times I shut down
Afraid and Voiceless I locked you out
Still we stayed He never flinched
Grace held the line when I couldn’t

It’s not just you and me against the world,
We got Someone stronger owning the work.
Love like this isn’t born of dust—
It’s Jesus in the middle, holding us.

I’ve tried control, I’ve played the man,
I’ve learned to put it all in the Carpenter’s hands.
He built this love from imperfect parts,
Framed it strong and signed it like a piece of art
We ain’t perfect, never will be,
But grace isnt theory, it’s gift to you and me

Every time we fall like moths in the flame,
He’s the reason we’re still in the game.

It’s not just you and me against the world,
We got Someone stronger owning the work.
Love like this isn’t born of dust—
It’s Jesus in the middle, holding us.
Yeah, it’s Jesus in the middle, holding us.

Love Like You Loved MeIn You
