On the 7th of november 1918 he was born

To a carolina farmer and his wife

He grew up long and lanky milking cows and tending school

Looking for direction in his life

He went to church one Sunday

Met a preacher there

A man they call mordecai ham

Young billy heard the call right there gave it all

As they sang just as I am

He heard the word got the call

Took the message to us all

He said it so we all could understand

Around the world here at home

He let us know we're not alone

Oh thank you billy graham

In little country churches at the tab and youth for christ

People came from everywhere to hear him speak

He had no idea just how god would use him next

Til in London's wembley field the spirit peaked

He heard the word got the call

Took the message to us all

He said it so we all could understand

Around the world here at home

He let us know we're not alone

Oh thank you billy graham

Father he adores you

He's tried to serve you well

To everyone who'd hear him out

Your story he would tell

Though all the world may know him

He's still a humble man

He's still a humble man

Whoever else may know your grace

Remember billy graham

He heard the word got the call

Took the message to us all

He said it so we all could understand

Around the world here at home

He let us know we're not alone

Thank you billy graham

Thank you for the father

Thank you for the son

And thank you for our brother here

And all the work he's done

He would not want to hear it

Coz he's such a humble man

But around the world we need to say it

Thank you billy graham

Oh thank you billy graham
