How Many Years

How Many Years
Author: Mark V. Markov

No matter what you hear
No matter what some say
Jesus Christ is still the same
The truth, the life, the way
It’s always as it ‘s been
With nothing in between

So don't be too late
Don't just sit and wait
It's your everlasting life
It's your God given right

In Jesus Christ
Believe, arise
It's not too late

So look up
At the eternal sky
Yahweh's throne is forever there
Heaven to come down
Someday for us
On this earth

Everlasting life in paradise
Under our Lord Jesus Christ
No more destruction
And despair

And now in this world
As we try
Remaining faithful
Through the passing time
Of our life

So believe
And stand up
For what is right
Be filled with love
Push away all the hate
Make the choice
Carrying on
With a living faith
Carry on
For the truth
In unity to be
Always faithful
Arise,
It's not too late

How many years
Flow away
How many tears
How many lives
Are lost in vain

God wants us to believe
With a living faith
We need to be
United as one

But before
The world
Will see
The glory of God's only begotten Son
Everlasting truth
The Word of God
Must be shared with everyone

Through Christ
We will overcome
All chains will be broken
The evil will be gone

But before
The world
Will see
The glory of God's only begotten Son
Everlasting truth
The Word of God
Must be shared with everyone

Through Christ
We will overcome
All chains will be broken
The evil will be gone

So believe
And stand up
For what is right
Be filled with love
Push away all the hate
Make the choice
Carrying on
With a living faith
Carry on
For the truth
In unity to be
Always faithful
Arise,
It's not too late

How many years
Flow away
How many tears
How many lives
Are lost in vain

God wants us to believe
With a living faith
We need to be
United as one

But before
The world
Will see
The glory of God's only begotten Son
Everlasting truth
The Word of God
Must be shared with everyone

Through Christ
We will overcome
All chains will be broken
The evil will be gone

But before
The world
Will see
The glory of God's only begotten Son
Everlasting truth
The Word of God
Must be shared with everyone

Through Christ
We will overcome
All chains will be broken
The evil will be gone...

John 3:16-21 (ESV)

16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him
should not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but in order that the world might be saved through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world,
and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light,
lest his works should be exposed.

21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light,
so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."

Revelation 5:13-14 (ESV)

13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"

14 And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Matthew 10:32-33 (ESV)

32 So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven,
33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

Revelation 1:9-18 (ESV)

9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet

11 saying, "Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,

13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.

14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,

15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last,

18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Revelation 3:1-6 (ESV)

"And to the angel of the church in Sardis write:
‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

"‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die,
for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.

3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent.
If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour
I will come against you.

4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments,
and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments,
and I will never blot his name out of the book of life.
I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
