Nothing Between (Tindley)

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.

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, 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, 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.

The subtitle "(Tindley)" in the title and the distinctive style (repetitive "Nothing between" structure, themes of renunciation and perseverance) point directly to the well-known African-American Methodist minister and gospel hymn writer Charles Albert Tindley, who published the hymn in 1905. No credible alternate attributions exist.
