Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know how
But I know I'll make it over
Don't know when
But he said he'll bring me through
Not yet there but I can see my destination
Ernest prayer is to be right here with you

But in the meantime
I'll keep on loving
In the meantime
I'm gonna keep on loving you
In the meantime
On this side of heaven
In the meantime
I'm gonna keep on loving you
Love me forever
I just don't want to be lonely

You taught me how
How to love all my brothers
And you given me
A certain job that I must do
Won't be long until that day of celebration
Sing my song
A song of joy when I'm with you

But in the meantime
I'll keep on loving
In the meantime
I'm gonna keep on loving you
In the meantime
On this side of heaven
In the meantime
I'm gonna keep on loving you




Love me forever
I just don't want to be lonely

Love this song so much...When things are good and going well life is wonderful; however, when things are not going good...what do you do? This songs reminds me to keep on loving and trusting God because in HIS time things will work out and be alright! When you trust God the MEAN TIME is not so bad because HE is there with you and HE is getting you ready for whatever HE has in store for you. I know this to be true because HE has done it for me. HE is still with me...Thank you Father God!

Got saved in '91....they started my love for TRUE Christian music. "Meantime" and "Addictive Love" are my all time favorite Christian songs. They NEVER get old. Not even 20 years later! 😊😊😊😊

For over 20 years, their music still inspires and soothes my spirit!
