Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh ooh whoa
Oh oh oh ooh whoa

Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant in the trial and the change
Cos this one thing remains
Oh oh oh ooh whoa
Oh oh oh ooh whoa

On and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I'll never ever have to be afraid
Cos this one thing, it remain
this one thing, it remains

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

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





In death, in life, I'm confident and covered by the power of your great love
My debt is paid and there's nothing that can separate my heart from your great love

Перемен и испытаний жизнь полна
Остаётся неизменной лишь она
Сильнее смерти, выше вечных гор
Божья любовь, Божья любовь!

Поток Любви течёт к нам без конца
Находит в Нём покой душа моя
Не страшно мне теперь навек со мной
Божья любовь, Божья любовь!

Любовь не сдаётся, не подведёт
Вечен поток её - 2х
Божья любовь, Божья любовь!

Мои грехи, благодаря Твоей любви
Искуплены сполна!
Ни смерть, ни жизнь с Тобой Господь не разлучит
Со мной навек любовь Твоя!

Bethel is not a cult :) Their worship is to God :) I'm sorry you feel that way, be free from what's keeping you that way in Jesus name. Have a blessed day, Jesus loves you!

@alexjmacman

Just take one night of your life and take the guess, that maybe, just maybe there really is a God. Try praying to him, you may just experience something like 'peace'. He is the prince of peace after all :)

@GospelLoveSongs90

To whoever is watching this, I am reaching out to you with love. Virtually bonding with you, I pray that you feel loved as you read this, in Jesus name. Our tomorrow belongs to God!

@abhicech

Amen and much love and blessings back to you ❤️

@charlesmangum3108

I will never leave you nor abandon you.  WOW, what a promise.  When I think back over my life and realize that He still loves me, no wonder I love to worship and praise Jesus and the Father.  What amazing love!

+Charles Mangum Read Matthew 28:19 and then read acts 2:38 you will find the Father and Jesus are ONE.

@charlesmangum2100

+Ampateishan S Read John 1:1-2  The Father and the Logos are not one person, but two.  The Logos is Jesus.

@patriciaanderson4322

+Ampateishan S The Father. The Son and The Holy Ghost. 3 in 1 :O)
