See the lyrics of “One Thing Remains” originally written by Brian Johnson, Jeremy Riddle, and Christa Black Gifford of Bethel Music and released in 2012.
[Verse 1]
Higher than the mountains that I face
And it’s stronger than the power of the grave
Constant in the trial and the change
This one thing remains[Chorus]
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me[Verse 2]
And on and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I’ll never, ever, have to be afraid
‘Cause this one thing remains
This one thing remains[Chorus]
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love, Your love[Bridge]
And in death, and in life
I’m confident and covered by
The power of Your great love
My debt is paid
There’s nothing that can separate
My heart from Your great love[Chorus]
‘Cause Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love[Verse 2]
And on and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I’ll never, ever, have to be afraid
‘Cause this one thing remains
This one thing, it remains, remains[Chorus]
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love[Bridge]
And in death, and in life
I’m confident and covered by
The power of Your great love
My debt is paid
There’s nothing that can separate
My heart from Your great love
