Lyrics
Born by the field where the red clay lay
In a simple home on a Carolina day
He learned to kneel when the shadows came
And found a fire in the Savior's name
A voice in his bones said, go and tell
So he stepped from the quiet where he'd once dwelled
From small town dust to the wide crowd light
Carrying hope into the
Preach that name, Billy Graham
Lift that cross and stand, I am
From the first breath to the final hymn
He pointed hearts back home again
Preach that name, Billy Graham
Through the storm and through the amens
From the cradle to the promised land
He kept the gospel in His hand
Across the fields and the stadium doors
He spoke of grace like a flood to shores
To kings and farmers, the lost, the young
The same good news from the same guitar
He never chased the throne of man
He kept the road pointed back to then
To Calvary's hill
and the empty grave
The only power that could still save
Preach that name, Billy Graham
Lift that cross and stand, I am
From the first breath to the final hymn
He pointed hearts back home again
Preach that name, Billy Graham
Through the storm and through the amens
From the cradle to the promised land
He kept the gospel in his
And when the years grew long and slow
He still believed the seeds would grow
A life poured out, a race run clean
A faithful man, not a faded dream
Now heaven holds water, let go
But mercy still runs where the rivers flow
And every soul that calls on grace
finds his message still has a place
Preach that name, Billy Graham
Lift that cross and stare and I am
From the first breath to the final hymn
He pointed hearts back home again
Preach that name, Billy Graham
Through the storm and through the amens
From the cradle to the promised land
He kept the gospel in His hands
From birth to death, one steady flame
A servant spent for Jesus' name
And though His voice went quiet at last
The word he preached still echoes fast
