Nothing Between
“And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.” Acts 11:21-23
cleave – “to adhere with strong attachment”
Truly cleaving to the Lord makes it very difficult for anything or anyone to come between us and our Saviour.

Nothing between my soul and my Saviour, So that His blessed face may be seen; Nothing preventing the least of His favor; Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.
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.
Nothing between my soul and my Saviour, So that His blessed face may be seen; Nothing preventing the least of His favor; Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.
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.
Nothing between my soul and my Saviour, So that His blessed face may be seen; Nothing preventing the least of His favor; Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.
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.
Nothing between my soul and my Saviour, So that His blessed face may be seen; Nothing preventing the least of His favor; Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.
