The gate is wide
The road is paved to moderation
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
It's safe and sound and
Until now it's where I've been
'Cos it's been fear
That ties me down to everything
But it's been love, Your love
That cuts the strings
So long, status quo
I think I've just let go
You make me wanna be brave
The way it always was
It's no longer good enough
You make me wanna be brave
Brave, brave
I am small
And I speak when I'm spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
To say Your name
Just Your name, and I'm ready to go
Even ready to fall
Wided-eyed
Take this fowl compromise
Why did I Try to keep it all inside
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
And every storm will start with just a drop of rain
But if You believe in me
That changes everything

i've been feeling a lot of different things lately, fear being a HUGE one...but this song has been a reminder that my strength and peace lies in Christ. and so i will boldly go...wherever He leads, cuz He's holding my hand the WHOLE way. And to actually sit back and think of that...? WHAT the heck can you be afraid of when God's got your back :)
mmmmmm....6 days..!

SOOOOO GOOOD!! go to: www.markharrisonline.com and they play that song while you're on the website! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!
For The First Time (lyrics by Mark Harris, of 4Him)
I was waiting for a push
Waiting for a sign
Waiting for the perfect moment to arrive
Steady as a clock
Caught between the lines
Living for myself until I realized -
There's too much life You've given me
To let it slip away
I'm ready to live
Ready to breathe
Ready to take in everything
Ready to love
Ready to shine
Ready to live this life of mine
I'm ready to jump
I'm ready to fly
For the first time
I wanna take a dive
I wanna take a chance
I wanna make the most of every day I have
I wanna be alive
I wanna be a man
'Cos being wild at heart
Is really who I am
You've put these dreams inside of me
So what can hold them back?
I'm ready to live
Ready to breathe
Ready to take in everything
Ready to love
Ready to shine
Ready to live this life of mine
I'm ready to jump
I'm ready to fly
For the first time
I can feel it, being pushed by a bigger hand
You embrace me, and believe in who I am...
I'm ready to live
Ready to breathe
Ready to take in everything
Ready to love
Ready to shine
Ready to live this life of mine
I'm ready to jump
I'm ready to fly
For the first time...
For the first time...
(see Mark's site: www.markharrisonline.com and it will actually play this song when you log into the website so you can hear it for yourself! IT'S GOOD!)
