One Thing Remains
Shelly E. Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Shelly E. Johnson's song "One Thing Remains" is a heartfelt worship song that speaks to the unending and unfailing love of God. In the first verse, Johnson portrays the greatness of God through descriptive language. She sings about how God is higher than any mountain she may face in life, and that His power is even stronger than the power of the grave. Despite the trials and changes that come with life, Johnson finds comfort in the fact that God is constant, and one thing remains true: His love.
Throughout the song, Johnson repeats the phrase "Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me." This shows how Johnson finds security in God's never-ending love. Through all of life's ups and downs, she trusts in the fact that God will never abandon her. This love that she experiences from God overwhelms and satisfies her soul, and she will never have to be afraid.
In the bridge, Johnson sings that she is "confident and covered by the power of [God's] great love." She knows that her debt is paid and that nothing can separate her heart from His great love. This message of hope and security in God's love is a powerful reminder for believers and non-believers alike.
