In the middle of all the chaos
In the middle of the mess,
Hold onto Jesus
In Him you will find rest.
Though your world is tossed and shaken
And the trials blow in like storms,
Jesus is your shelter
Let Him hold you in His arms.
Fear and worry drives you
In an endless sea of waves,
But cling to the Rock, Christ Jesus
And He will keep you safe.
In the middle of all the chaos
In the middle of the mess,
Hold onto Jesus
In Him you will find rest.
The tug of the storms’ currents
Try to pull you down and down,
And in the churning waters
It feels like you will drown.
But there’s a lifeline you can cling to
In the waters of your distress,
His Name is Savior, Jesus
Come to Him and He will bless.
In the middle of all the chaos
In the middle of the mess,
Hold onto Jesus
In Him you will find rest.
With all life’s trials and tribulations
He’s your help, your anchored peace,
Run into His safe shelter
And there find aid and release.
Though the tempest roll by day
And the fear stalks at night,
He will send His angels
And for you He’ll surely fight.
In the middle of all the chaos
In the middle of the mess,
Hold onto Jesus
In Him you will find rest.
Turn to your Beloved
He’s waiting for you here,
Turn to your dear Savior
He’s longing for you to draw near.
In the midst of all your trials
He promises peace of mind,
No matter how dark the night
It’s joy in Him you’ll find.
In the middle of all the chaos
In the middle of the mess,
Hold onto Jesus
In Him you will find rest.
