Nothing between my soul and the Savior

Thank you for posting this hymn online.

It's a blessing

This is one of the most beautiful hymns I have ever known. An admirable state to achieve, rather to rest in.

Good one

This song is a real testimony and a commitment to the Lord . Not of this world delusive dreams I renounce all worldly pleasures. Hallelujah.

Praise the Lord there’s nothing between!

Charles Albert Tinley was born in Maryland July 7th 1851. His father Chester was a slave and his mother Hester was free. Hester died when Charles was very young; he was taken in by his mother’s sister Caroline Robbins in order to keep his freedom. In his Book of Sermons he speaks of behind “hired out wherever father could place me” it seems he was expected to work for the family.

Charles married Daisy Henry when he was seventeen. They had eight children. Some whom later assisted him in publishing his hymns. Tindley educated himself. After he and Daisy moved to Philadelphia in 1875, he took correspondence courses towards becoming a Methodist minister while working as a grounds keeper. In 1902, he became a pastor at East Bainsbridge and the church grew rapidly. Then in 1924, he became a minister at the Tindley Temple where membership grew to ten thousand. He was known for his captivating preacher drawing multiple races to hear him speak.

His songs were published in A book called Soul Echoes and New Songs of Paradise. The songs were an outgrowth of his preaching ministry.

His wife Daisy died in 1924 and in 1927 he remarried Jenny Cotton. Tindley died July 26, 1933.

What a beautiful prayer and song. God help us to live the Words of this beautiful prayer and song.

Such a beautiful old hymn. I remember years ago when my aunt and I used to sing this song during our devotion and the Holy Spirit dropped it in my spirit. There are so many worldly distractions that can come between my soul and the Savior but with God's Grace He will help with much denial and self preservation the Holy Ghost. Churches need to get back to these songs and stop playing those jumping up entertainment music that don't profit the soul but only satisfy the flesh.

What a great old hymn! How I am blessed by its message. Oh that every believer, myself included, could honestly say "there is nothing between my soul and my Savior." We need to do sing this hymn more often.

There is nothing between my Lord and Savior. Such a fitting song in this fasting.
