time in between

you were there when your father said

let there be light

you obeyed when he whispered

son

you have to leave tonight

to spend nine months in a mother's womb

three days in a borrowed tomb

but it's the time in between

that brings me to my knees

knowing you came for me

and all that i can't be

i'm amazed

so amazed

and i thank you for the time in between

don't take much for this crazy world

to rob me of my peace

and the enemy of my soul

says you're holding out on me

so i stand here lifting empty hands

for you to fill me up again

but it's the time in between

that i fall down to my knees

waiting on what you'll bring

and the things that i can't see

i know my song's incomplete

still i'll sing in the time in between

so many ways

your love has saved the day

and i'm grateful for them all

but it's the time in between

the middle of two thieves

that says everything

it's the reason i believe

i'm amazed

so amazed

and i thank you for the time in between

oh lord

i thank you for the time in between
