There are times when I’m lost, Lord,
somewhere in between
my faith in you
and the burdens weighing heavy on my heart…
I believe in you and your care for me
but I get lost, Lord:
and the burdens weighing heavy on my heart…
I believe in you and your care for me
but I get lost, Lord:
lost in my problems and fears,
praying and waiting to be rescued
praying and waiting to be rescued
and wondering why it seems
you’re slow to hear my prayer…
Where might I go, Lord,
Where might I go, Lord,
what can I do, in these in-between times
while I wait for you to help me,
to come and set me free?
Be the Lord of my in-between times, Jesus,
the moments and days, the weeks and seasons
in between
sorrow and joy
hurt and healing
fear and confidence;
worry and tranquility
rejection and acceptance
confusion and clarity;
grief and contentment
shame and self-respect
anxiety and serenity;
doubt and belief
loneliness and company
foolishness and wisdom…
Come help me, Lord, and rescue me,
come steady and sustain me,
come comfort and assure me
when I’m living in between
all my troubles, stress and trials
and the peace my heart desires,
the peace I long and thirst for,
the peace I pray to find,
the peace that’s yours to give…
Protect me, Lord, while I’m awake,
watch over me while I sleep,
that awake, I keep the watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace…
I’ve seen some glorious days
Where I flew so much higher
Much higher than I ever thought I would
And soaring through the air
I would declare
Well, isn’t God, isn’t He good?
‘
‘
Cause He was and He is
And He always will be
But in the in between
It’s hard for me to see
In the in between
Where every day life happens
And the fields of green
Belong to someone else
In the in between
Of what will be and what has been
Jesus is a faithful friend
In the in between
I’ve been unsure of myself
But even in the dark
I’m pretty sure that all is well
And then I see
There in a mirror looking back at me
A work that is not everything
That it would be
And He was and He is
And He always will be
Close beside and holdin’ on to me
In the in between
Where every day life happens
And the fields of green
Belong to someone else
In the in between
Of what will be and what has been
Jesus is a faithful friend
In the in between
Grace and mercy know no seasonThere is no good reason why the best of daysMight not be the days aheadAnd in the in between when you have some time to dream
Your faith and strength will be restoredBy the gracious Lord of the in between
Where every day life happensAnd the fields of greenBelong to someone else
In the in betweenOf what will be and what has beenJesus is a faithful friendIn the in between
Jesus, He’s a faithful friend,
In the in between.
