Verse 1

I know He’s in the grand refrain
Of hymns and melodies of praise
That echo through the stained glass
Underneath some steeple
I know He’s there when they testified
How He showed up just in time
To split the seas wide open
And rescue all His people

Chorus

But where is God in real life
When it all breaks down and it’s not alright
And you’re in the middle of it
Stuck in the middle of it
Where is God when your soul’s not well
And you feel like you’re all by yourself
Wondering why He hasn’t helped
He’s in the middle of it

Verse 2

I know He’s there so tenderly
When a sinner’s heart starts coming clean
Leaning in so close
To their broken hallelujah
I know He’s there for the final breath
Of a grateful saint who finds their rest
As they wake up in His presence
In the glory of Heaven

Chorus

But where is God in real life
When it all breaks down and it’s not alright
And you’re in the middle of it
Stuck in the middle of it
Where is God when your soul’s not well
And you feel like you’re all by yourself
Wondering why He hasn’t helped
He’s in the middle of it

Bridge

I can’t tell you why sometimes
He answers right away
While other times He’s silent
As if He likes to make us wait
Can’t tell you how He chooses
Where His miracles will fall
Some will see them their whole lives
Some won’t see them at all
