God's love never fails.  I love the way the writer of "One Thing Remains" strayed from the syncopation and rhythmic nature of the verse - to land with solid quarter notes at the end with "this one… thing…."It serves as a reminder for me that regardless of what's going on, God's love for us through Christ is THE one thing that will never fail, never give up on me….We opened yesterday with a new setting that I wrote to The Church's One Foundation.After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out, One Thing Remains, Rejoice the Lord is King,…
