Nothing Between

"Nothing Between" is a heartfelt gospel hymn written by the African American pastor and songwriter Charles Albert Tindley, often referred to as one of the founding fathers of American gospel music. Composed in 1906, this hymn is a personal and passionate prayer for an undivided loyalty to Christ, a commitment to keep the believer's heart free from any sin, worldly pleasure, or relationship that might hinder their walk with God.

The repeated refrain, "Nothing between my soul and the Savior," emphasizes a daily vigilance to guard one's conscience and remain in close fellowship with the Lord. Tindley's words are deeply rooted in Scripture, particularly in the apostle Paul's declaration in Acts 24:16, which calls for a conscience clear before both God and man. The hymn’s verses explore various possible barriers, such as pride, habits, or earthly ties, and affirm the believer’s resolve to surrender all to Christ. Over the years, "Nothing Between" has become a staple in holiness and revival meetings, challenging Christians to self-examination and encouraging a life wholly dedicated to God.
