Between You and Me

About Between You and Me

"Between You and Me" is a song by the American contemporary Christian music group DC Talk. Released in 1996, it was the second radio and commercial single released from the group's fourth album, Jesus Freak. Lyrically, “Between You and Me” stresses the importance of forgiveness. In contrast to many of the DC Talk's other singles, the Christian message of "Between You and Me" – the importance of forgiveness and confession – is heavily implied, although it is not blatantly stated in terms of any specific religion. The music video for the song features the band members – Michael Tait, Kevin Max, and Toby McKeehan – performing the song in a laundromat. Interspersed is footage of a man carrying a package while running from two other men. After the unexpected success of the grunge rock single "Jesus Freak," "Between You and Me" helped to bring DC Talk to a new level of success and solidify them as mainstream artists. The song later earned DC Talk a GMA Dove Award and is the only DC Talk single to have charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was also a Christian radio success and peaked at number one on both the Christian Adult Contemporary and Christian Contemporary Hit Radio CCM Magazine charts. more »

Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both
For far too long now
Since we've parted ways

I've been wrestling
With my conscience
And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel my pride away

Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down

Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom now

Just between you and me
I've got something to say

If confession is the road to healing
Forgiveness is the promised land, oh
I'm reaching out in my conviction
I'm longing to make amends, yeah

So I'm sorry for
The words I've spoken
For I've betrayed a friend
We've got a love
That's worth preserving
And a bond I will defend

Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down

Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom

Just between you and me
I've got something to say

In my pursuit of God
I thirst for holiness
As I approach the Son
I must consider this

Offenses unresolved
Will keep me from the throne
Before I go to Him
My wrong must be atoned

If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel this pride away
Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down

Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom

It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
So let me say it today

It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made

It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made

It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
