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 havin' is revealed in the losin' of things
And I can't even begin to imagine the sting that kinda pain brings

I would never blame you for evil, even if you caused me pain
I came into this world with nothin', and when I die it'll be the same
I will praise your name in the givin' and takin' away
If I have you, I could lose everything, and still consider it gain

It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word makes the difference
It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word changes everythin'

It could mean everything, it could mean nothin'
One word makes the difference
It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word changes everythin'

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
Everythin' as a loss for the sake of bein' found in Christ

Obedience to God's word is the safest foundation
A safe haven for saints waitin' for the glorious great day when
Our savior will return, that's the day of restoration
Those who sleep will be awakened, and we will never cease to thank Him

Singin', "Worthy is the Lamb to receive glory and honor"
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

It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word makes the difference
It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word changes everythin'

It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word makes the difference
It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word changes everythin'

It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word makes the difference
It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word changes everythin'

It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word makes the difference
It could mean everythin', it could mean nothin'
One word changes everythin'
