RIP, Billy Graham

Three days after 9-11 Billy Graham addressed the nation in a special memorial service at Washington National Cathedral. He spoke of the fallen towers and to the grief and fears of a rattled nation. Then he closed by quoting an old hymn called “How Firm a Foundation”:

"Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed,

for I am thy God and will still give thee aid.

I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,

upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand."

There was the pastor, summoned to speak the word of God to the people of God.

Thanks be to God for Billy Graham. May he go on now to the City whose foundation is everlasting.
