True Love
Billy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands

Oh, I love my lover, and well she knows
Yes, I love the ground on where she goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When she and I will be, will be as one
When she and I will be, will be as one
To be oh (?)

So black is the color of my true love's hair
Her face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands





I love the ground on where, on where she stands

Billy Graham is in my opinion the greatest preacher of all time

@GMPLAS7

I´m not sure you´re wrong there.

@TexasFlood98

Jesus is the greatest preacher

@user-in2jt2hk2h

Billy graham taught numerous false teachings, you want a few examples, I have a list. If a preachers words, teachings contradict and falsify plainly written scripture, then who is wrong, the preachers teachings or scripture?

@TexasFlood98

@@user-in2jt2hk2h what do you mean? He preached the gospel. You have no idea what your talking about.

@user-in2jt2hk2h

@@TexasFlood98 yes he preached a gospel, however many of his teachings did not line up with what plainly written scripture states. One such example is how he repeated preached that "the moment you receive Christ, the moment you open your heart and surrender to Him as Lord and Master and Savior, At That Moment your name is written in the book of life". This sounds wonderful, it sounds correct, however it is plainly written in Revelation 13:8 that the book of life Was Written at the foundation if the world!!! Therefore, you cannot get your name written into a book that God already wrote at the foundation of the world, that is to say God already wrote the names down before He created the world, before He created mankind. Billy deceived many people with this false teaching. Another one is how Billy stated, " The Bible Teaches that there are at least three kinds of hell, perhaps even as many as seven or eight". There are some 50 verses that speak of hell, and all illustrate that there is only one kind of hell, a place of sorrow and torment. Nowhere else within scripture are these other kinds of hell spoken of. These are just two of the many examples, I have the dates and locations of where he preached these false teachings and even more. If you need more examples I'll gladly give them to you.

As a 27 year old man. It has been years that I've heard preaching with so much care and conviction for everyone in the crowd. It doesn't cast down judgement but only truth in love. Like a parent who loves their son or daughter. This warmed my heart. I hope our generation Pastors coming up can find a voice like how God used Pastor Billy Graham.
