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.

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. Credit: Youtube/GoldLabelArtists This personal, heartfelt song of gratitude includes some poignant lyrics:

On the 7th of November 1918 he was born to a Carolina farmer and his wife. He grew up long and lanky, milkin' cows n' tendin' school looking for direction in his life.
