Another song that speaks straight to my heart...

Heard this song again today and again, I can hear God's voice speaking to me.  I hope I get to the point where I can say these words and mean them but for now...its something to pray for and its a comfort to know that this is what He wants for me.


Brave by Nicole Nordeman

The gate is wide, the road is paved in 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.
Cause it's been fear
that ties me down to everything But it's been love,
Your love, that cuts the strings.

Chorus:
So long status quo, I think I've just let go.
You make me want to be brave (I want to be brave).
The way it always was, is no longer good enough.
You make me want to be brave. Brave, brave.

I am small and I speak when I am spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all.
Say your name, just your name.
And I am ready to jump,
Even ready to fall.
Why did I take this vow of compromise?
Why did I try to keep it all inside?

Chorus:
So long status quo, I think I've just let go.
You make me want to be brave (I want to be brave).
The way it always was, is no longer good enough.
You make me want to be brave.

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.

So long, I'm gone.

Chorus:
So long status quo, I think I've just let go.
You make me want to be brave (I want to be brave).
The way it always was, is no longer good enough.
You make me want to be brave.
