In Their Midst
by Roger Montgomery
Israel was looking for a Savior
Someone to bring them their deliverance
And God answered their prayer
Jesus was in their midst.
God, can’t you send us a prophet
We remember how you once blessed
And God was answering their prayer
Jesus was in their midst.
God had a plan for them
And God was granting their greatest wish
God is always doing good things for us
And Jesus is in our midst.
God loves you very much
And He is just waiting to bless
So He sent His Son from above
And Jesus is in our midst.
You may wonder how it can be
Someone so important could be so easily missed
But we wonder how so many can be lonely today
With Jesus in their midst.
One day we will be in heaven
And forever we will be blessed
But we can also be blessed today
Because Jesus is in our midst.
Maybe God has already answered your prayer
But if you are still fighting, please desist
There are blessings sent from above
Because Jesus is in our midst.
He is reaching out His hands in love
So will you please not resist
What more can God give to us
Than to send Jesus into our midst.
Well, if He would go away
I’m sure He would be surely missed
But He is still with us today
And Jesus is still in our midst.
But He wants to be even closer
In our hearts He wants to rest
Then we will both have real peace
With Jesus in our midst.
God desires to be our friend
He will not be satisfied with anything less
He has been searching for us daily
Jesus is in our midst.
God’s hands are open wide
Are yours clenched in a fist
Are you still running from God
Is Jesus in your midst?
God has not given up on you
He loves you and all the rest
He has gone to great pains for you
Jesus is in our midst.
Until He comes into your heart
He will not stop and rest
Aren’t you glad He doesn’t get tired
Jesus is in our midst.
Are you tired of running
When will you stop to rest?
The world will look so much better
With Jesus in your midst.
Are you satisfied with your life?
Don’t be satisfied with second best
When true love comes into your heart
Then you'll have Jesus in your midst.
What am I talking about
Accept Jesus and you will have the best
What more can God give to us
Than to have Jesus in our midst.
Ask Jesus to show you the Way
And take away all of the spiritual mist
Ask Jesus into your heart
Then both of you can take a rest.
