about

In this song inspired by a Faith and Science course I took (written and recorded my senior year) in high school, I wanted to emphasize their compatibility, rather than a division that other perspectives may force. Through the beauty of creation and the study of it, there is so much to contemplate and wonder. More often than not, I've found, everything in our ordered and complex creation points back to the ultimate source: God.

lyrics

Way back when
Before stars burst
4 Key forces made the universe extend

But nothing comes from nothing
Despite what some say
To simplify another way

But I find life’s more sublime
When it’s not one line
Where there’s more than just material

And oh my,
What’s life like
when we change our sight
to find what’s beautiful

And there you are
In the middle of it all, oh
Calling to us, giving to us
In the middle of it all, oh
Waiting for us, patient with us
In the middle of it all, oh
Simply because you love us, oh

Take a look around just for a bit
To soak in everything—past the sky and through the ground

Don’t you think it’s amazing
That each piece fits together seamlessly?

Cause I find life’s more sublime
When it’s not one line
Where there’s more than just material

And there you are
In the middle of it all, oh
Calling to us, giving to us
In the middle of it all, oh
Waiting for us, patient with us
In the middle of it all, oh
Simply because you love us, oh

And I’ve never felt this way before
Love’s walking through the door
Painting my world with colors
That I could look at for hours

And there you are
In the middle of it all, oh (your love’s a lovely thing)
Calling to us, giving to us
In the middle of it all, oh
Waiting for us, patient with us
In the middle of it all, oh
Simply because you love us, oh
