Mat Kearney – In The Middle Lyrics 16 years ago
This is one of my favorite songs. I think nak05 got it. I had the chance to talk to Mat Kearney personally, before his concerts cost more than I can afford. His faith in Jesus Christ is really important to him. Talking about "breaking the hardest heart" is not saying that he is heart broken but that the love of Christ was able to do exactly that, break through the hardening of his heart. He doesn't want his relationship to be lukewarm... fall in the middle (referring to revelations 3:16). Taking faith in Christ is blind faith, no safety nets. I believe the foot in the water is referring to when Jesus calls Peter out of the boat to walk on the water with him. I just think he goes through the song talking about life circumstances, but all through it he wants his all to mean something... "I'll never let this love fall in the middle. Through it all."
