Christian Musicians Thank Billy Graham in Song
Recording artists Pat Boone, David Pack, and Billy Dean were so impacted by Billy Graham’s ministry. So they wrote a song to say "Thank You" to him. They included so many country singers whose lives were also impacted by this man of God. And it was so heartfelt. [caption id="attachment_48984" align="alignnone" width="750"] Credit: Youtube/GoldLabelArtists[/caption] Billy Graham was the reason why a lot of these artists began a relationship with Jesus. Because He was not afraid to be transparent and real about God’s saving grace, he was easy to relate to. And that’s what drew so many people to his ministry. Billy did not make anyone feel like they were alone in life's journey. But he delivered truth in a way that made people want to live a life free in Jesus. And that was expressed in the song that these artitsts wrote for him.

Since we live in a world where people have diminished Christianity to nothing more than a saying on a bumper sticker, Billy Graham was of great encouragement to believers. He really taught us how to value the word of God. And that is what Bono expressed.

He grew up long and lanky, milkin' cows n' tendin' school looking for direction in his life.RELATED: Kathie Lee Gifford Reacts To The Passing Of Evangelist Billy Graham [caption id="attachment_48978" align="alignnone" width="750"] Credit: Youtube/GoldLabelArtists[/caption] The song continues saying, "He went to a church one Sunday, and met a preacher there, a man they call Mordecai Ham. Young Billy heard the call, right down gave it all" [caption id="attachment_48979" align="alignnone" width="750"] Credit: Youtube/GoldLabelArtists[/caption] The song continues with:
as they sang `Just As I Am.' He heard the word, he got the call, he took the message to us all.[caption id="attachment_48985" align="alignnone" width="750"] Credit: Youtube/GoldLabelArtists[/caption] The beautiful tribute continues with:
He said it so we all could understand. Around the world, here at home, he let us know we're not alone. Oh, thank you, Billy Graham.[caption id="attachment_48980" align="alignnone" width="750"] Credit: Youtube/GoldLabelArtists[/caption] This beautiful song is a wonderful tribute to the beloved Reverend. Released back in 2008, I can only imagine how touched Billy Graham was! How wonderful that people honored the great man while he was still living.
