Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Chris August has announced on his website that his new single will be Center of It. The Dove Award winner got into an accident recently – someone got carried away by too much skateboarding fun – and August admits that he had to take time off to rest and heal, an experience completely different from what the singer was used to. This most likely helped color the development of the songs on The Upside of Down, August’s sophomore release, releasing to the American public in, fittingly enough, August.
August is currently on tour to promote Center of It and The Upside of Down, alongside headliners Contemporary Christian pop-rock legends MercyMe and up-and-coming Christian singer Moriah Peters, so I’m looking forward to hearing Center of It, which drops on iTunes on June 8. Once that’s out, I hope someone will upload a sample onto YouTube so I can share it with all of you. Until then, let’s keep tuned to our local Christian radio stations and hope they play Chris August’s Center of It!
Update: Chris August’s Center of It has its first public performance at a Spirit West Coast event held in Del Mar, California. Check the video out below!
CENTER OF IT Lyrics
Chris August
Somedays I’m feelin’ like I
Can’t win, can’t get it right and it
Don’t matter how hard I try
Today is not my day
When it feels like I’m going crazy
And it looks like nothings changing
Come sun come rainy day
You are still the same
In the dark, in the light
In the morning and night
In the good, in the hurt
In the places I hide
When I rise, when I fall
You’ll be there through it all
At the start, at the end
In the center of the center of it
Some nights I lay awake and I
Can’t push these thoughts away
I’m worried where I’m gonna go
Where I’m gonna be are You gonna be there for me
When it feels like the doors are closing
Gotta trust that You’re doing something
Come sun come rainy day
You are all I need
In the dark, in the light
In the morning and night
In the good, in the hurt
In the places I hide
When I rise, when I fall
You’ll be there through it all
At the start, at the end
In the center of the center of it
There will be days I will forget
Everything You’ve done for me
But when I go back there again
I’m reminded
In the dark, in the light
In the morning and night
In the dark, in the light
In the morning and the night
In the good, in the hurt
In the places I hide
When I rise, when I fall
You’ll be there through it all
At the start, at the end
In the center of the center of it
The center of it all, the center of it
In the loss, in the win
In the beauty and the sin
At the start, at the end
In the center of the center of it
