Lunar Eclipse is the world between the sun and moon.
Spiritual Eclipse is the World between the Son and Man.

NOTHING BETWEEN

Here are the lyrics to a great old hymn.

Nothing between my soul and the Savior

Author: Charles Albert Tindley (1905)

Tune: [Nothing between my soul and the Savior]

 

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, with nothing between!

[Refrain]
