1 Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
naught of this world's delusive dream;
I have renounced all sinful pleasure;
Jesus is mine, there's nothing between.
Refrain:
Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
so that His blessed face may be seen;
nothing preventing the least of His favor;
keep the way clear! Let nothing between.
2 Nothing between, like worldly pleasure;
habits of life, though harmless they seem,
must not my heart from Him ever sever;
He is my all, there's nothing between. [Refrain]
3 Nothing between, like pride or station;
self, or friends shall not intervene;
though it may cost me much tribulation,
I am resolved, there's nothing between. [Refrain]
4 Nothing between, e'en many hard trials,
though the whole world against me convene;
watching with prayer and much self denial,
triumph at last, there's nothing between. [Refrain]
