Between The Cross And Crown
NewSong's 'Between the Cross and Crown' is a worship song that acknowledges the hardships and scars of life while affirming God's sovereign plan. It expresses a longing for the future restoration of the world when every knee will bow to Jesus, but recognizes that until then, believers rely on the Holy Spirit as their guide and comforter. The chorus repeatedly asks for strength to endure the present days between Christ's sacrifice and His coming kingdom. The song balances honest struggle with hopeful trust, encouraging listeners to persevere in faith.
Not one of us will get through life unscarred
If no wounds upon our body, then our hearts
Lord you work all things by Your plan
And nothing comes without passing through Your hand
[Chorus]
And You are sovereign over all that's been broken by the fall
So give us strength, Lord, here and now
In the days between The Cross and Crown
We long for hope for when this world's restored
When every knee will bow to You, and call You "Lord"
But till then, Your Spirit's here to guide
Our Comforter, Counselor, The Breath of Life
[Chorus]
In the days between The Cross and Crown
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Give us strength, Lord, here and now
In the days between The Cross and Crown
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Lord, give us strength, oh here and now
In the days between The Cross and Crown
In the days between The Cross and Crown
In the days between The Cross and Crown
