Текст песни Timeless Truth, Pt. II (Billy Graham) с переводом

Now you can’t change your past

But you can determine your destiny by deciding for Christ

But Christ can change your past

He died on the Cross

So that all the sins you’ve ever committed

All the things you’ve ever done wrong are forgiven

What do you have to do?

You have to repent of your sins

That means to be willing to change your way of living

You may have no power to do it

You may not have power to give up some of those habits you know are wrong

You may not have power to change your whole life that you know needs to be

changed

But if you surrender to Christ, He’ll give you the power

You say, «Well, Billy, I don’t know what else to do

I don’t really have peace and joy and power in my life

All that you’re talking about

How do I get it?»

Jesus Christ said, «I am the Way»

Come to Christ

He will give you a new strength and a new power

And a new joy and a new peace and a purpose for living

Every person that ever lived had to make the same choice

It’s either the world and its pleasures and its gods

Or it’s Christ

Which is it for you?

Who are you choosing?

Choosing rather to suffer the affliction with the people of God

Than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season?

Oh yes, there’s pleasure in sin for a short time

But it’s soon over

The hangover comes

And there’s nothing you can do about it

It’s going to be there

Choose Christ and there will never be a hangover except joy and peace

And it’s an urgent decision because to delay makes the right decision harder

Indecision in itself is a choice

Not to decide is to decide not to

Decisions are made whether we make them or not

Time decides if you will not

And time always decides against you

There’s a lonely arena in the depths of your heart

Where the greatest battle of life must be fought alone

That’s your decision about Christ

Your parents can’t make it for you, the Church can’t make it for you

Your friends can’t make it for you

Your girlfriend, your boyfriend can’t amke it for you

You have to make it yourself

And you must decide tonight

There are hundreds of people that have to decide tonight

And your decision tonight, yes or no, will decide where you’ll be 100 years

from now

If you’re not sure that you’re ready to meet God

If you’re not sure you’re going to Heaven

If you’re not sure that your sins are forgiven

You come and make sure tonight

I believe that none of you are here by accident tonight

I believe that you are here on this particular night

Because this is the night that you are to meet God in a new way

And receive Him into your heart
