Josh Garrels - Words Remain Lyrics






Heaven and the earth will pass away
But your words all remain

And my hands are growing old
And weary with pain
Still I fold them to pray

To the one unchanged
Yesterday and today
Oh YHWH
I will try to stay awake
Take my last breath of faith
As I wait for you to come

Take me beyond
This land undone
Over the flood
By your word, spirit, and blood

It was prophesied long ago
Every word set in stone

Not one will pass away
Or walk alone
All that I own

Does not compare
To the love that we share
Please remember me

When the hour arrives
And you must decide
If you'll wait for me to come

Take you beyond
This land undone
Over the flood
By my word, spirit, and blood

    Verse 1]
    Heaven and the earth will pass away
    But your words all remain
    And my hands are growing old
    And weary with pain
    Still I fold them to pray

    [Verse 2]
    To the one unchanged
    Yesterday and today
    Oh YHWH
    I will try to stay awake
    Take my last breath of faith
    As I wait for you to come

    [Chorus]
    Take me beyond
    This land undone
    Over the flood
    By your word, spirit, and blood

    [Verse 3]
    It was prophesied long ago
    Every word set in stone
    Not one will fall away
    Or walk alone
    All that I own

    [Verse 4]
    Does not compare
    To the love that we share
    Please remember me
    When the hour arrives
    And you must decide
    If you’ll wait for me to come

    [Chorus]
    Take you beyond
    This land undone
    Over the flood
    By my word, spirit, and blood [1]
    Cennet ve dünya uzaklaşacak
    Ama sözlerin hepsi kalıyor
    Ve ellerim büyüyor
    Ve acı ile yorgun
    Hala dua etmek için katlarım

    [2]
    Değişmeden biri için
    Dün ve bugün
    Ah YHWH
    Uyanık kalmaya çalışacağım
    Son inancımı al
    Gelmeni bekliyorum

    [Koro]
    Beni ötesine götür
    Bu arazi yok edildi
    Sel üzerinde
    Senin sözün, ruhun ve kanın

    [3]
    Uzun zaman önce kehanet edildi
    Taştan her kelime
    Biri düşmeyecek
    Ya da yalnız yürüyün
    Sahip olduğum her şey

    [4]
    Karşılaştırmaz
    Paylaştığımız sevgiye
    Lütfen beni hatırla
    Saat geldiğinde
    Ve sen karar vermelisin
    Gelmemi beklersen

    [Koro]
    Seni ötesine götür
    Bu arazi yok edildi
    Sel üzerinde
    Benim sözüme göre, ruh ve kan

    I Love how Josh takes Bible scripture and brings it to life in a song. Like the part where even that he's old he still takes the time to fold his hands and pray to the one unchanged God. Here he sings YAWHEY! spelling might be off here but that is Jesus Christ.
    Well done Josh.

  30. M.... R....

    is he an angel? I'm mesmerized by his worship music, so beautiful

  31. O.... K....

    Hi, I live in Brazil and I discovered your music by Tessa Violet. You inspired me, thank you for sharing!

  32. J.... W....

    This song makes me want Josh Garrels and Gungor to play a show together.

  33. E.... M....

    some of y'all trippin, this has nothing to do with religion, but it does however have everything to do with faith <3

    E.... M....

    @Badass Bear care to elaborate ?

    E.... M....

    @Badass Bear not necessarily, yes by laymen definition Christianity is a religion, but to say that's all there is to it would be a huge misconception. Religion is simply a bunch of do's and don'ts, but in this song josh articulates his yearn for God, not religion.

    E.... M....

    Black & Blue hello fella, this is actually a Christian song, if you look at his channel , there's a music video. it's about Hosea and Gomer , a story found in the bible. the man married a whore, the symbolism of the relationship of the Lord and Israel who continously unfaithful to God and go after false gods. I know to to you it might seem that religions are the same but they aren't , Christianity is different from Islam and Judaism ^_^ Jesus for us fulfilled the law so we are no longer bound to it :) Islam and Judaism are more focused on their works for salvation
    Good day to yah

    E.... M....

    ya Jesus is against religion, we should remember it was the religious Pharisees that plotted to kill Jesus. Jesus is indeed the true and only Savior. The fact Children of God are still here is actually proof, not disproof. That doesn't make much sense until you read what Jesus prayed to The Heavenly Father, *My prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.* - 1 John 17:15-19 Why are Children of God still here? One reason is to spread the Good News aka The Gospel. If no one had told me about Jesus, I wouldn't know about Jesus and I'd be dead in my transgressions and sins. Since I have faith in Jesus, He sanctifies me and makes me righteous, not because of what I do, or don't do, but because I have faith in what Jesus did. *How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"* - Isaiah 52:7

    E.... M....

    He knows it's Christian. He's saying that Christianity is not simply religion.

    @ZigZagGamer Even if you don't believe in God, the outlook on life that you expressed a year ago is not phenomenologically accurate (it doesn't make sense of experience). Your very ability to "direct" your own path now is predicated on years of others pouring their life, love, and wisdom into you. Even if you had a horrible childhood, the mere fact that you made it to adulthood, nay, made it into the fresh air outside the womb is predicated upon the care of your mother for you. It is not weakness to acknowledge the fact that in order for me to have anything, it was once given to me. Every step of independence is built upon years of interdependence upon others. This is just the way it is. The only way for you to be your own "god" is for those who came before you to have given your "godhood" to you. Are not those with good parents more apt to be capable of independence in adulthood? The better care the family takes of the child, the more capable that child is of becoming a man/woman.

    Furthermore, that child is only capable of directing his "own" path given the limited number of live possibilities he/she has been exposed to and groomed for. All other possibilities are merely illusory. Thus, the directing of one's own path, and the possibilities for the direction such a path could take are also not in the child's control.

    A Christian simply (often unconsciously) takes this logic one step further. Not only is it the case that my life is preceded chronologically by the love my parents had in raising me, but it is preceded ontologically(essentially) by the love of God for what he has made. He has loved us in creating this world, and has enabled parents to love their offspring after the same fashion, taking up the responsibilities that are hallmarks of true "independence". So, to rely on God, for the Christian, is to rely on the very source that allows for the possibility of independence.

    Any degree of independence is grounded on the solid foundation of interdependence.

  42. D.... D....

    That's great you love this song. I think it's beautiful too. But the reason it's beautiful (and the reason for all true beauty) is because the God you don't believe in created it. It's ignoble to not give credit where credit is due. If you still have breath in your lungs it's not too late for you to believe in Jesus. If you don't...

    So beautiful

  48. I.... ....

    Amen!!!

  49. t.... ....

    Amen :D

  50. t.... ....

    Lol dude it has everything to do with Jesus. "Everything will pass away but Your (GOD) Word will remain". The song is saying that God is unchanging and He will remain forever and ever more! AMEN!
    I hope God opens your eyes one day before its too late.

  51. I.... ....

    You know what, your right. At the time I was fed up with the world myself I suppose... I feel like I am always subjected to the world, but I should have kept it to the beginning without saying what i did. I thank you for your post that was kind and a good correction, Even if I am right I should not have tempted him to anger. God Bless

  52. T.... ....

    More likely, it was just one bad day. Otherwise, he would still be arguing with you. It's impossible to analyze character by 2 sentences (That's why I consider such attempt lack of modesty). Besides, I doubt it would work if you were told your life is a mess by a random guy on the internet.
    "I feel sorry" will sound condescending however good your intentions might be. If you just left the first sentence (fact) and kept your opinions to yourself your example of patience would heip him much more.

  53. I.... ....

    If he is going to tell me to shut up and keep the Praise Jesus *!#@ to myself chances are his life is a mess. All I wrote was I love Josh Garrels music and how he uses his gift. Not sure how many lightning speed conclusions you think I wrote... but they are probably true if he is going to say and swear at me for posting Praise Jesus words on a Christian songwriters song post. Someone had to tell him why his life is... probably... a mess. Someone told me. Thank you for your comment though.

  54. T.... ....

    Let me start mith saying that I think it's OK to leave strongly religious comments on Garrels' video (There's a dude who preaches on Skrillex videos of all places).
    Your light-speed fast conclusions ("I bet your life is a total mess" etc.) is what's making bad rep for the rest of religous people. This means that you either wrote it to anger the guy or lack modesty to accept that you can't actually know this guy's situation. I'm pretty sure neither can be called Christian behavior.

  55. I.... ....

    He is a Christian singer/songwriter dude. Your vile. I bet your life is a total mess. I feel sorry for you that you can't hear it, blind and deaf.

  56. t.... g....

    How does this song have ANYTHING to do with God. Shut up and keep the "praise Jesus" shit to yourself. Some of us have different beliefs and don't need to see this.

    t.... g....

    I'm not christian but the song lyrics says Yaveh which is God's name.

  57. t.... g....

    She put it in a video.

    How did Tessa send you here?

  61. D.... v....

    Love this song! Only sumthing inspired by the Spirit of Jesus can be this beautiful!!

  62. Z.... ....

    Jesus was real, whether or not religion is true is something only death can teach us, i choose not to practice in religion. I don't care either way, but you can't come onto a religious artists music about RELIGION. and tell people to stop talking about jesus.
    WOW have some common decency idiot.

  63. I.... ....

    This is wonderful, praise God for his gifts to each of us, our gifts are meant to build the body of Christ. Amen, I am so glad I found this guy.

    Push PLAY, close eyes, pray, weep, repeat.

  67. A.... Y....

    Jesus was a real living person, you can't deny that, but whether he was the son of God and had all his powers is a matter of opinion.

  68. e.... b....

    Meekakity showed me you!

  69. A.... D....

    Holy Ghost. Hauntingly beautiful.

  70. V.... D....

    Yeshua is love. Praise Yahweh!

  71. N.... ....

    Lol, you are saying Jesus was not real?

  72. N.... ....

    'Cause it tells you what to believe and how to whoreship the church rather than god. I quit that last week!

  73. M.... ....

    Jesus healed my hypoglycemia and also depression and anxieties. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you, but a word of warning: do not get tangled in religion or churchianity. Do not follow people, get to know Jesus the Messiah directly! Much love!

  74. G.... ....

    great album cover, great music, horrible religion xx

  75. n.... ....

    brace yourselves Meekakitty posts are comming

  76. M.... L....

    ? His historicity is not very disputed fact. He was in fact a person, but whether or not you believe He was who He said He was is up to you. I doubt tons of people who love Josh Garrel's music love it only on sonic quality, so I just hope you may find some joy in the music. If not I see little reason for you to try to ruin someone else's joy in it or its content.

  77. S.... I....

    Oh god stop with all the Jesus talk. He wasn't real. Get over it.

  78. S.... I....

    Sick track

  79. D.... J....

    LOVE IT!!! This is amazing, Meekakitty made a music video that i love too. :)

  80. y.... ....

    I would love to learn this on the guitar. If anyone has found a tab for this song please link.

    Cool will do.

  84. A.... D....

    Man, you know what's weak? Jesus Christ DIED for people, and some of the ones who claim His name (Christian) are too ashamed to even SPEAK ON YOUTUBE the Truth of Who He is. I thought perfect love was supposed to cast out fear?

  85. A.... G....

    Who cares if the song is about religion or not? I just enjoy the music. It's absolutely brilliant :)

  86. Z.... ....

    The Ironic thing about your last line is, that you're saying that if i don't you do, Maybe i do? Maybe i don't?
    But I know one thing, i don't need to believe that someone else is guiding me through the good and bad, That's just me, going through life, and you can't "figure life out" there's nothing to be figured out, but i'm happy as hell without any high being.
    But please i'm stating how i feel upon religion, believe in what you like because if you're happy good for you, carry on! :)

  87. R.... S....

    You are your own god?? Thats ridiculous. You have no control over your life, you only have free will. you could get cancer or die in a car accident*knock on wood* Theirs nothing in your life you are ashamed of? you're perfect just the way you are right? Believing in religion takes more strength than youll know. Bigots and close minded people always arguing with you cause they dont like your belief system. You have life figured out right? Mr. Dalai lama

  88. J.... ....

    I'm in love with this song... It is beautiful.

  89. Z.... ....

    Jesus didn't change your personality, Only you have the power to do that.
    So you changed yourself, you don't need to fall to your knees in worship of someone else, when you're your own god and no one is more powerful than your word.
    I don't like to dislike an entire religion, but i do because it shows weakness, extreme weakness that you can't set the path you want to walk without having to pray to a higher being, I am my own god, and I dictate any choice in my life.

  90. R.... S....

    That's pride mate, we all need God. I've yet to meet a perfect person. Im more sinful than anyone i know. Glad you like the song!

  91. M.... ....

    This is song is about God and His Messiah, Jesus Christ. Period. What's the problem? Jesus Christ changed my life and my personality, and for that I am forever thankful. The love of Jesus Christ is the most NOVEL thing I have ever experienced.

    Much love!

  92. Z.... ....

    So you're retarded ?
    Seriously, who speaks like this? You're living in the 21st century have faith but don't be a complete drip.
    I don't want jesus to reveal shit to me, that gay fucker needs to keep his clothes on!

  93. M.... ....

    Poor decieved soul, robbed of the spiritual truth, sold out to cheap gaming entertainment, programmed for destruction.

    May Jesus reveal Himself to you, and show you the love that you have never known.

  94. Z.... ....

    Please tell me you're being a big troll, or trying to be funny in some sort of way?
    It's a movie, not the work of a demon, last time i checked the writer wasn't a huge ass demon, and last time i checked jesus was a little to concerned about being nailed to a fucking cross instead of caring about a gay Wizard and witch franchise.

  95. T.... ....

    Thank you Tessa!
