Matt Maher's song 'The In Between' is a testimony of personal transformation through encountering God. The lyrics describe moving from death to life, fear to peace, and doubt to hope, emphasizing a clear change brought by a 'Holy collision' with Christ. The song contrasts the old self with the new identity as God's child, highlighting the work of Jesus on the cross as the bridge between who the singer was and who they will forever be.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
From death to life
From darkness to a shine
From fear to a peace
I can't explain
From doubts to a hope
Holding on and letting go
Of all the empty promises of shame
This is my song
I was one way
But now I am different
There was a clear change in
A Holy collision
Who I was
And who I'll forever be
And He was the in between
(Ooh ooh)
From orphan to Your child
From a stone to running wild
From a seed in the ground
To breaking out
From a mess to a mess
A blessing to a blessing
A sea of failures bearing testimony
This is my song
I was one way
But now I'm different
There was a clear change in
A Holy collision
Who I was
And who I'll forever be
And He was the in between
(Ooh ooh)
Love stretched out
On a tree screaming out
So that I could say
You've not forsaken me
You're the first and the last
My future and my past
Who I was
And who I will forever be
You are the in between
I was one way
But now I am different
There was a clear change in
A Holy collision
Who I was
And who I'll forever be
And You are the in between
I was one way
But now I am different
There was a clear change in
A Holy collision
Who I was
And who I'll forever be
And You are the in between
(Ooh ooh)
You are the in between
