Caught In the Middle

I'm not sure how many of you have heard Casting Crowns's new CD, but if you haven't let me just tell you GO. BUY. IT. NOW. Seriously, a great CD.

One of my favorites from the CD is the song, "Caught in the Middle." Check out these lyrics:

Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle, You’ll find me
Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who You’re making me
Somewhere in the middle, You’ll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control

Fearless warriors in a picket fence,
reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
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
Are we caught in the middle

Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You’ll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control

Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You’re by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I’m caught in the middle

Several of the phrases of this song slapped me right in the face on my way home last night. Because honestly there are many times when I have been "Caught in the Middle." So for the next several posts, I'm gonna be focusing in on some of those phrases.
Hope you'll join me!
