Between heaven and earth there's a divide
A painful struggle between darkness and the light
In this interim
(As we wait for You.)
Between heaven and earth, here we are still
And those things that we hate we still can do
In this interim
(As we wait on You.)
We are found in this world;
We are not of this world,
We are all Yours alone
And yet here we remain.
Between heaven and earth
We see You there
All alone and rejected by men and God
Between heaven and earth
Your arms outstretched
On the cross
Between heaven and earth
We see You there
Where wooden beams cross, Life out-poured
Where God's heaven, our earth connect in You
On the cross.
Between heaven and earth we suffer on
Through the brokenness on our way to home
In this interim
(As we wait for You)
Between heaven and earth there is a link-
You, God, are both bridge and only Way
In this interim
(As we wait on You)
We are found in this world;
We are not of this world,
We are all Yours alone
And yet here we remain.
Between heaven and earth
We see You there
All alone and rejected by men and God
Between heaven and earth
Your arms outstretched
On the cross
Between heaven and earth
We see You there
Where wooden beams cross, Life out-poured
Where God's heaven, our earth connect in You
On the cross.
Between heaven and earth we find our lives
As we walk with You through the mess and lies
In this interim
(As we wait for You)
One day heaven and earth will be made new
Yet Your kingdom is right here and You are true
In this interim
(As we wait on You)
We are found in this world;
We are not of this world,
We are all Yours alone
And yet here we remain.
Between heaven and earth
We see You there
All alone and rejected by men and God
Between heaven and earth
Your arms outstretched
On the cross
Between heaven and earth
We see You there
Where wooden beams cross, Life out-poured
Where God's heaven, our earth connect in You
On the cross.
