1. One Thing Remains
Lyrics
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant in the trial and the change
This one thing remains
This one thing remains
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me x3
And on and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
'Cuz this One thing remains
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me x3
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
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me x2
And on and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
'Cuz this One thing remains
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me x3
