If...

If in one unfortunate moment You took everything that I own Everything you've given from heaven above And everything that I've ever known If you stripped away my ministry My influence, my reputation My health, my happiness My friends, my pride and my expectation If you caused for me to suffer Or to suffer for the cause of the cross If the cost of my allegiance is prison And all my freedoms are lost If you take the breath from my lungs And make an end of my life If you take the most precious part of me And take my kids and my wife It would crush me, it would break me It would suffocate and cause heartache I would taste the bitter dark providence But you would still preserve my faith What's concealed in the heart of having Is revealed in the losing of things And I can't even begin to imagine The sting that kind of pain brings I would never blame you for evil Even if you caused me pain I came into this world with nothing And when I die it will be the same I will praise your name In the giving and taking away If I have you I can lose everything And still consider it gain It could mean everything, it could mean nothing One word makes the difference It could mean everything, it could mean nothing One word changes everything It could mean everything, it could mean nothing One word makes the difference It could mean everything, it could mean nothing One word changes everything (Everyone who trusts in you will not be put to shame) If that's not what I believed Then why is that what I proclaim? If it don't change how I live Should I still shout it just the same? If I shout it as loud as I can Will blessings shower down From the heavens and land on my crown To rinse away all my doubt? And the grace of God is only sweet To the ears who hear the sound of it But that sweetness won't be tasted By the mouth of a counterfeit faith Only the thirsty will drink from the fountain of life and count Everything as a loss for the sake of being found in Christ Obedience to God's word is the safest foundation A safe haven for saints waiting for the glorious great day when Our saviour will return That's the day of restoration Those who sleep will be awakened And we will never cease to thank him Singing "worthy is the Lamb to receive glory and honour" Worthy is the Lamb who reconciled us to our Father Worthy is the one who gives life without end But if Christ is not raised then we are still in our sin If...
