Lyrics
I've seen some glorious days
Where I flew so much higher
Much higher than I ever thought I would
And soaring through the air I would declare
Well, isn't God good, isn't He good?
'Cause He was and He is
And He always will be
But in the in between
It's hard for me to see
In the in between
Where every day life happens
And the fields of green
Belonged to someone else
In the in between
Of what will be and what has been
Jesus is a faithful friend
In the in between
I've been unsure of myself
But even in the dark
I'm pretty sure that all is well and then I see
There in a mirror looking back at me
A work that is not everything that it would be
And He was and He is
And He always will be
Close beside and holdin' on to me
In the in between
Where every day life happens
And the fields of green
Belonged to someone else
In the in between
Of what will be and what has been
Jesus is a faithful friend
In the in between
Grace and mercy know no season
There is no good reason why the best of days
Might not be the days ahead
And in the in between when you have some time to dream Your faith and strength will be restored
By the gracious Lord of the in between
Where every day life happens
And the fields of green
Belonged to someone else
In the in between
Of what will be and what has been
Jesus is a faithful friend
In the in between
Jesus He's a faithful friend, in the in between.

Meaning & Inspiration
The song explores trust during ordinary stretches when dramatic highs have faded and hoped-for change has not arrived. It acknowledges comparison, uncertainty, and an unfinished life without treating those experiences as evidence of God’s absence. The central claim is steady: Jesus remains a faithful friend between what has passed and what is still ahead. That refrain turns an overlooked interval into a setting for divine companionship.
The lyric’s language about God’s constancy closely reflects Hebrews 13:8, which declares Jesus Christ unchanged across past, present, and future. Its picture of an unfinished reflection also fits Philippians 1:6, where God is trusted to complete the work he began. Grace and mercy become grounds for hope rather than rewards for unusually strong faith. By locating restoration amid daily life, the song offers a patient theology of perseverance. God’s goodness is not limited to exceptional moments; Christ stays near while growth remains incomplete and the future is not yet visible.
