Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to tell everybody everything
Every plan, every prayer, every dream
But I learned the hard way that not everyone
Is supposed to know what God is doing for me
So I got quiet
And I stayed close to Him
And everything started shifting
When I stopped letting people in
Chorus
Not everything is meant to be shared
Some things you just have to trust God and wait
Because the moment you announce it too early
You give the enemy a chance to interfere
It is between me and God
That is where my breakthrough lives
Between me and God
That is where He does His best work
Verse 2
Not every prayer needs an audience
Not every blessing needs to be announced
Some things are too sacred to share
So I keep it between me and God
I stopped explaining myself to people
Who were never going to understand
I stopped seeking validation from anyone
Other than God's hand
Because not everyone celebrating with you
Actually wants to see you win
And I learned to tell the difference
Between a real friend and the wind
Chorus
Not everything is meant to be shared
Some things you just have to trust God and wait
Because the moment you announce it too early
You give the enemy a chance to interfere
It is between me and God
That is where my breakthrough lives
Between me and God
That is where He does His best work
Bridge
Silence is not my weakness
Silence is wisdom
Knowing when to speak
And when to be still
Not everybody needs a seat
At the table of what God is doing in your life
Some things are just for you and Him
And that is more than enough
Chorus
Between me and God
I keep it right there
Between me and God
He already knows
I do not need to explain it
I do not need to announce it
It is between me and God
And that is where it stays
Outro
Not everything God does for you
Needs to be shared
Keep it between you and God
And watch what He does
When nobody else is watching

Meaning & Inspiration
“Between Me and God” by Delana Hope is a song about keeping some things private in faith. The first verse says the singer used to tell everybody everything, every plan and prayer, but learned that not everyone is meant to know what God is doing. So she got quiet and stayed close to Him, and things began to shift.
The chorus says not everything is meant to be shared and that some things call for trusting God and waiting. The second verse adds that not every prayer needs an audience or every blessing an announcement, and that not everyone celebrating wants to see you win. The bridge calls silence wisdom, knowing when to speak and when to be still.
The ideas are close to Matthew 6:6, Ecclesiastes 3:7 and Genesis 37:5-8, on praying in secret, a time to be silent, and the cost of sharing a dream too early. The tone is calm, personal and cautionary, and it invites listeners to trust God with what He is doing.
