My Memories of Billy Graham

Having been converted the year before
Dr Graham came over the following year
to preach at Mission England in the UK
Sunderland was the nearest venue I could hear

I decided to spend a week down there
an opportunity to view BG for real
was not disappointed not even a little
for God's presence was there to feel

Cliff Barrows lead the congregation
to sing in unison was so brill
Bev Shea sang solo so wonderful
could hear pin drop so very still

What a privilege to hear the great preacher
Dr Graham spoke with authority so clear
backed by scriptural truths as he said
repeatedly the Bible says so we shouldn't fear

What a blessed week that truly was indeed
that was a week I never will ever forget
watching many respond to God's good news
life's transformed by God's servant on set
