MercyMe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I can finally be a part of the story
I've been embraced
By the wonderful arms of glory
There is nowhere else I'd rather be
I believe Your spirit is alive and on the move
Oh I want to be caught up in the middle of You
Oh I wanna be caught up in the middle of You
I finally see
The very reason for my existance
I am complete
When I'm standing within Your presence
And now I know where I'm supposed to be
I believe Your spirit is alive and on the move
Oh I want to be caught up in the middle of You
I wanna be a part of what I know you're gonna do
Oh I wanna be caught up in the middle of You
You have called me all along
This is right where I belong
Caught up in You
Caught up in You
I believe Your spirit is alive and on the move
Oh I want to be caught up in the middle of You
I wanna be a part of what I know you're gonna do
Oh I wanna be caught up in the middle of You
Caught up in the middle

One of the most underrated songs of MercyMe. This song is still amazing
MKS Land
Based on air play? Who's rating and how do you determine that? If you like Mercyme at all you know this song and many others completely rock! House Of God is another. They have many slower worshipful songs but they can rock!
