The Reverend Billy Graham

Alas, we on earth are left to mourn,

The passing of The Reverend Billy Graham.

Yet, there is great rejoicing in Heaven this day,

As God with his angels embraced His beloved lamb!

He faithfully preached The Good News to all creation,

Following The Great Commission proclaimed by Him.

When he reached out to touch the face of Christ,

He said, "Welcome, Billy! You served My people well!"

If ever there was a man who earned a rendezvous with God,

'Twas certainly The Reverend Billy Graham!
