In The Middle

Janice Thomas

Standing in the middle
No way out
No one seems to care
What church is all about

No one's willing to give
All think they're right
No one can be wrong
So they continue to fight

I wonder what they would do
If Jesus stood in the middle
Would it make a difference
Would it even matter a little
