GOSPEL >> Consecration
SDAH 322
Nothing between my soul and my Savior,
naught of this world’s delusive dream;
I have renounced all sinful pleasure;
Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between.
Text
1
Nothing between my soul and my 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 my 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.
3
Nothing between, e’en many hard trials,
though the whole world against me convene;
watching with prayer and much self denial,
I’ll triumph at last, there’s nothing between.

Recommended Reading
Four things Charles Tindley enumerated when he examined his relationship with Christ. Could it be that I have the same four things coming in between my relationship with Him? “This world’s delusive dreams.” Promises of security. A well-paying job. A prettier look. A fully-upgraded life. People cheer me on. A thousand likes on an edited snapshot. Am I content? At what cost?

At every step of our earthly pilgrimage, we must choose: will Jesus be all, or will we allow something else to come in between? This was the choice Judas failed to make. Not renouncing his covetousness, the once favored disciple instead betrayed his Lord. (Lesson 9, 1st Quarter 2023, Managing for the Master – Tuesday, “The Heart of Judas” 2/28/23)
