Winner of souls was the preacher’s goal
Young man on fire for God…
Compelled to go to the highways and byways
His trek for Jesus was trod…
A simple salvation is what he taught
Saving souls is what he sought…
John 3:16, he lived and shared
So the souls of people everywhere
Would be given grace and spared
Spared from Hells eternal flames
Accepting Christ in Jesus Name
Millions would come to Crusades
He’d proclaim
“YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN…”
The legacy of Reverend Billy Graham
Is one, which shares Salvation’s Plan…
Will you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
Open your heart and only believe…
Living 99 years is nothing you see…
When Jesus lives inside of thee…
You’ll grow and stretch and pray and shout…
But obey His call and never doubt…
This will be our legacy
And
Home Sweet Home will be our eternity
The blood of Jesus will set you free…
A winner of souls you’ll be…
