Lyrics
Between the moments
Emphasizes the periods of time "between the moments."
He was there at your first breath. He'll be there beyond your death
God's enduring presence from the beginning of life to beyond death is highlighted.
And if you stay for hours or days or months or even years away
God remains with you whether you are near or far, for varying durations.
From God he'll never go away from you
Even if you distance yourself from God, His presence is constant.
Between the moments
Reiteration of the theme of God's perpetual presence "between the moments."
There will never be a time when God's not by your side
Asserts that God is always with you, emphasizing His continuous support.
Turn to him
An encouragement to turn to God in times of need or uncertainty.
Between the moments of my life
Shifts to a personal perspective, reflecting on moments in the singer's life.
Christ waits for me so silently, then reaches out to set me free
Christ waits silently and offers freedom when approached.
And in the moment of my strife
Describes a moment of struggle in the singer's life.
Christ's cross-crushed hand embraces me, a touch of peace that helps me see
During hardship, the touch of Christ brings peace and clarity.
Between the moments
Reiterates the theme of God's presence "between the moments."
So many times I've been on my own
Reflects on times when the singer felt self-sufficient and in control.
I've been in control, I have no need for him
Expresses a period of independence and perceived self-sufficiency.
Then suddenly life crashes in on me
Unexpected challenges disrupt the singer's self-reliance.
And what do you see I'm out on a limb
Facing difficulties, the singer feels vulnerable and dependent.
Between the moments
Reiteration of God's enduring presence from birth to death.
He was there at your first breath. He'll be there beyond your death
Emphasizes God's constant presence regardless of time or circumstance.
And if you stay for hours or days or months or even years away
Repeats the idea that God remains with you over varying durations.
From God he'll never go away from you
Even during prolonged absence, God's presence remains unwavering.
Between the moments
Reiteration of the continuous nature of God's presence "between the moments."
There will never be a time when God's not by yours side
Asserts that there is never a time when God is not by your side.
Turn to him
Encourages turning to God for guidance and support.
