One thing remains

Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through 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 and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever, have to be afraid
One thing remains

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...

By Jesus culture

one thing remains

I was listening to this song today , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_KXsMCJgBQ , and thought it fitting to re-post the poem below , enjoy :

Everything erodes,
Even the gold that swiftly rests on the rich,
It too erodes
But God remains

I’ve traversed life’s lanes
And questioned man's purpose,
That insatiable hunger to pass on something for generations yet to come,
…to win perhaps even the approval of men already gone,
To give to them a timeless gift,
But even man’s approval erodes
But God’s remains

I’ve looked at famed people of the present time,
And how they yearn to leave something behind,
Something of value, something befitting a legacy,
Oh! How they labour tirelessly to
Imprint their signatures on the sands of time!
But I’ve realised
Even the legacies of famed heroes erode,
But God’s remains

while in the abyss
I’ve walked by my own might,
And relied on my own sight,
But struggled for I was strong,
And triumphed only when I was weak,
…left perplexed by life’s contradictions.
Who knows why I am here anyway?
I looked up some verses in Ecclesiastes& Matthwess
then Jesus gave me an epiphany,

The purpose of man is to:
Walk with God,
Live with God,
Know God,
Trust God,
Obey God
Worship God,
Love God
And to love another..
That in itself is true purpose,
A timeless freshness of being alive,
A living legacy for children to receive to follow and to pass on,
Nothing compares to this
Age to age...

resurrecting

who puts a void like this, a hollowness that feeds?
the bigger it gets, the more I am satisfied,
who are you?
what kind of emptiness is this?
that the further I hide from the void, the smaller it becomes
the happier I am, the poorer I really am?
who are you?

there is a God-shaped void in everyone,
even in me : the unbecoming saint, indeed, the actual hypocrite.

thankful. blessed. let my unworthy eyes see
the secrets hidden in the heavens!

One of those days

Kick off my shoes and relax my feet
Hit the kitchen grab a bite to eat
It's been one of those crazy weeks
And I gotta do something special for me

See, hit the salon get a mani and a pedi
Have a massage, get a sip and then I'm ready
Gotta take time out
And my real ladies know what I'm talking about

[Sing] Oooooooh, baby baby
You don't know what I've been going through
Sing it again now. Oooooooh, baby baby
It's obvious to see exactly what I need

One of those days
When the sun is shining bright
And my life is going right
And the simple things are not wasted

One of those days
When you're cruising in your car
And you're out to see the stars
And it's warm outside and beautiful

Tonight, it's all about me
Just wanna set my body free
Never mind the TV
Tonight I'll just let a little TV watch me
Light the candles, aroma therapy
Hot tub bubbles surrounding me
Mr. Big is in the background
The Isley Brothers gonna hold it down... sing

[Chorus]

[Ad-libs at the end, singing hello... hello... (friendly)]
I need one of those days
you don't know what...
warm and beautiful
[Laughs again.]
