Rev. Billy Graham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving

Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand




Make this world a better place
If you can

Romanos 10:9
Si confiesas con tu boca a Jesús como Señor y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvo.
10 Porque con el corazón se cree para justicia, y con la boca se confiesa para salvación.
1 Corintios 15:3
Lo que recibí te lo transmití primero, que Cristo murió por nuestros pecados según las Escrituras.
4 Fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, conforme a las Escrituras.

Hacer buenas obras, servir, dar ofrendas, adorar al amanecer y asistir a la iglesia sin creer en Jesús con el corazón es solo una vida religiosa.
Todos los seres humanos son pecadores ante Dios.
No solo el asesinato y la violación son pecados, sino también las pequeñas mentiras, los chismes, la envidia, el odio, la codicia y la fornicación, todos son pecados.
La única manera de que los pecadores sean salvos es creer como un niño pequeño en los méritos de la sangre del Señor Jesucristo sin pecado.
No hay una sola persona justa en este mundo.
Ya sea que cometa un pecado o diez mil pecados, todos son los mismos pecadores a los ojos de Dios.
La paga del pecado es muerte.
Irás al infierno por tus pecados. Jesús fue clavado en la cruz, derramó su sangre, murió, fue sepultado y resucitó al tercer día, resolviendo por completo el problema de mis pecados.
Todos mis pecados pasados, presentes y futuros son perdonados por la sangre derramada de Jesús.
Es muy fácil salvarse del infierno e ir al cielo. Solo tienes que admitir que eres un pecador en este momento, creer que tus pecados son perdonados a través de la sangre derramada de Jesús y confesarlos con tu boca.
El justo por la fe vivirá (Romanos 1:17)

Si quieres ser salvo, ora con fe de la siguiente manera.

¡Gran Dios!
Soy un pecador
Hoy me di cuenta de que Jesús, quien es Dios, vino a esta tierra en la carne, derramó sangre en la cruz, murió y resucitó para perdonar todos mis pecados.
Ahora que creo y acepto a Jesús como mi Salvador, por favor ven a mi corazón y sálvame del infierno.
Gracias por salvarme. En el nombre del Señor Jesucristo oramos. amén.

When other pastors sell their sermons on CDs, DVDs, or in books, I find Billy Graham speaking for free on Youtube. We are so close to the end, and the world needs to hear the truth before it is too late. Thank you.
