One More Song For You

Summary: There has always been one unwilling to let the rocks cry out, to stand up and be counted, who was willing to persevere and say, “As long as there is time, and one breath left in me There will always be one more song for You
Mordecai Ham as well as Billy Graham said the same thing with zealous Compassion, so many faithful to the calling before said as well;
“As long as there is time, and one breath left in me
There will always be one more song for You,
To help my brother through, they’ll be one more song for you!”
Because of Billy’s faithfulness to the call God placed on his life;
2.2 billion – estimated number of people who heard him preach.
215 million – estimated number of people he preached the gospel to at live events.
2.2 million – estimated number of people at his crusades who responded to the invitations to become a Christian.
185 – estimated number of nations and territories where preached.
I’ve heard many accounts over the years of those who were saved hearing the message of Christ at a Billy Graham Crusade. Jesse Duplantis, who has had tremendous success and has seen thousands come to Christ under his ministry, was saved in a hotel room watching Billy Graham in one of his crusades.
Even this week, a dear lady here in our community, Betty Hall 99 years of age, gave testament of her faith in Christ was from her conversion of Salvation at a Billy Graham crusade.
I witnessed right here in this church my pastor, Pastor Schaffer have the same spirit of compassion and zealousness for the harvest of souls as all have had, that I have shared with you today!
For the night before God called him home, even in the tired state his body was in from the Leukemia he was fighting, he was preaching the word of God with vigor, faithful to his calling!
As I walked him to the car I could sense what his spirit spoke to me said;
“As long as there is time, and one breath left in me
There will always be one more song for You,
To help my brother through, they’ll be one more song for you!”
What a testimony of his faithfulness and I stand here today preaching and you are listening, as a direct result of his faithfulness!
While not all who are called will be obedient, God continues and still calls us all to be faithful and to, “never tire of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist. So seize any opportunity the Lord gives you to do good things and be a blessing to everyone, especially those within our faithful family.”
I challenge you to to renew the call of God on your life. Keep sowing seed, keep sharing the story, keep watering the seed others have planted and together with God’s ability, we will one day reap the glorious harvest He is expecting when He returns for His Bride!
Let’s pray and thank God for the opportunity He has entrusted us with, renewing the vow our salvation calls us to share until the whole world knows!
