Brave

" The gate is wide
The road is paved with moderation
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
You're safe and sound
And until now it's where i've been
Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything
But it's Your love, Your love, that cuts the strings

So long status quo, I think I just let go
You make want to be brave
The way it always was is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave

I am small and I speak when I'm spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
I say Your name, just Your name
And I'm ready to jump, even ready to fall
Why did i take this vow of compromise
Why did i try to keep it all inside

I've never knew a fire that didn't begin with a flame
And every storm will start with just a drop of rain
But if You believe in me that changes everything

So long status quo, I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave
