So Long Status Quo

Have you ever had a song stop you in your tracks and speak directly to you? Everytime I hear the song "Brave" by Nichole Nordeman I feel it in my heart. That song speaks right to me. Challenging me where I am and how I am living. So here's your challenge. Listen to the song "Brave" if you can and read the lyrics below. Don't let fear tie you down, be brave and just let go. God believes in you. Go for it.

Brave

by Nichole Nordeman

The gate is wide

The road is paved in 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 been love, Your love, that cuts the strings

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, 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 known a fire that didn't begin with a flame

Every storm will start with just a drop of rain

But if you believe in me

That changes everything
