Only a Shadow Between

E. C. Baird • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 144:4

Verse 1

I have a home in a fair summer land, Its beauties I never have seen, I have a place on an evergreen strand, There’s only a shadow between.

Chorus

Only a shadow, a shadow between, Only a shadow between, One step to go O the way’s all aglow, There’s only a shadow between.

Verse 2

Jesus has promised a home to prepare, Thro’ faith on this promise I lean, I have a mansion that’s wondrously fair, There’s only a shadow between.

Chorus

Only a shadow, a shadow between, Only a shadow between, One step to go O the way’s all aglow, There’s only a shadow between.

Verse 3

When I have finished my task here below, I pass thro’ this shadowy screen, Be with the ransomed forever I know, There’s only a shadow between.

Chorus

Only a shadow, a shadow between, Only a shadow between, One step to go O the way’s all aglow, There’s only a shadow between.
