One Thing Remains
Brian Johnson feat. Bethel Music Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your voice ever close you called me
You never gave up pursuing
I fell in love you stole my heart

Your hand ever near I hold to
I long for your heart to know you
Just to live in your fellowship

Just to be close to you Just to walk next to you
This is my one thing You are my one thing
Just to be close to you Just to walk next to you
This is my one thing You are my one thing

My eyes ever fixed upon you
To live like a child to trust you
I’ll hold on to this treasured love
My life ever set at your feet
I give you my heart completely
To live this life always by your side

I have to know you
All that’s within me
Cries out for your presence, God
Nothing compares

There’s no one else
Jesus you’re my one desire

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!

Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant in the trial and the change
One thing...remains

Your love never fails, never gives up
never runs out on me (3x)

On and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
and I never, ever have to be afraid

One thing remains (2x)
Your love never fails,never gives up,
never runs out on me. (3x)

In death, 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

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!

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 :)

We are all in this together... (This scares me sometimes.. LOL!) but it is a learning process. Jesus said the world will know that He was sent by our love for each other (John 17). If we, as Christians, Believers, being born-again of the Spirit, cannot get along with each other, how are we going to preach the good news and have people see Jesus in us? I understand your frustration because I deal the same issues from others too. But love never fails. (1 Cor. 13:8) Jesus has your back my friend.

@klarakutmanova9896

Nothing and no one can separate us from his healing presence and love and care! He will restore everything we lost. Deep inside me, I have this certainty, even though we're facing very hard attacks now in my family, serious illnesses etc. I just feel that every word of this song is a word from Him, it's so comforting! Words are really powerful...
He will make everything new and perfect, it's so worth the process!
Oh thank you for this song and for everything you do at Bethel church!!! God bless you all. Greetings from Prague xxx

Wow guys.... Listen up really quick. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:2 to "fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." What does that mean, in ALL THINGS we need to look to Jesus and the work He did for us on the cross. And Jesus said in John 13, "By this everyone will know you are my disciples, if you love one another." Further, He said "The second [greatest commandment] is like it, love your neighbor as yourself."

@kenbillings7321

Jesus is not imaginary.In fact He is probably the most historically documented person of all time. He died and rose again and He lives!!. That is how we know He loves you more than you could ever imagine. Our hope is that you would seek Him and find this out for yourself.

God has been running a song in my head every morning for a while. Just recently, I decided that in acknowledgement to that, I would find the song and listen to it. It is such a blessing to hear words and phrases stand out in a way I never noticed before. And may I boldly say, He is using a lot of Bethel Music! I love these loft videos!

i believe it is in C. Brian has a capo on the 5th fret, and for the Verses plays C (one bar), G (one bar), D (two bars), for the Chorus plays Em, C, G, D (one bar each), and the Bridge is C, G, D, Em, C, G(one bar each), D (two bars). Hope that made sense and that it helped! :)

The one thing that remains is the restoration of earth to it's original intent. This sovereign God that loves yearns to share heaven with His creation... since we failed to heed His call for this planned, eternal relationship. Laying aside His robe of majesty, He became one of us to reveal His glory to fallen man. By giving His Son as propitiation for our disobedience, we are able to approach Him with confidence. Not because of what we can do but what He did to reconcile us unto Himself. And on and on it goes...showing Himself to whomever, wherever and by whatever method imaginable. Yes...His love never runs out!
