His light shone brightly, like a beacon on a hill
shining forth for all the world to see.
Boldly did he proclaim the gospel, the good news
the very heart and soul of Christianity
Jesus, the Way, the Truth, the Life!

He was a man of conviction, a man of faith
a man of integrity. A man whose words
lit up a fire, a stirring, in the hearts of the masses.
Words from God, Words from the Bible
Words inspired by the Holy Spirit.

He came from humble beginnings
a farmer's son from North Carolina.
Yet God had His eye on him
no ordinary man would he be.
God had a plan for this young man's life
a plan that he could never even imagine.

God raised this man up to become a
preacher among preachers
a modern John the Baptist.
His crusades packed multiple coliseums 
the world over, as the words would ring out...
"Repent and be saved! Believe the Bible! 
 Confess your sins! Ask Christ into your
heart, and He will save you!"
And they would come...

I was a young teenager in the early "70's
when I attended his crusade in Oakland, Ca.
with my family and my best friend.
I had already received Jesus, but my friend
the daughter of a Baptist minister, had not.
But she did that night. She heard the call.

Yes, the call went forth mightily from
that powerful preacher, ringing out,
strong and sure, with conviction.
Many people rose from their seats
and poured down the aisles.
My friend also went down, and I with her.
The choir sang, "Just As I Am".
There were tears, there were praises!
I will never forget that night.

For years, he continued to preach the
gospel message all over the world.
He counseled many generations of
US Presidents, he met with world leaders.
He was truly a man of God.

Today, he finally met his Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, face to face.
He had said in the past how much 
he looked forward to this day.
And the only thing he wanted to hear 
from His Lord was this...
"Well done, thou good and faithful
servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord."

Today, that mighty, yet humble servant
Billy Graham, heard just that.
Today, he is rejoicing with His Savior 
in heaven! Praise the Lord!
