Rev. Billy Graham, The

by louis gander
2/24/2018 / Salvation

One-half a century ago,

a day about routine,

became one quite spectacular

for boy about thirteen...

A faithful black and white TeeVee

had doors that opened wide,

inviting all to sit a'spell

and watch what was inside.

Once on, dad had to turn a knob

for vertical control.

And then the horizontal one

in that tube-filled console.

A strong determined voice was heard

by boy and everyone.

Then picture tube came into view

with all fine-tuning done.

And what he saw astonished him -

so many people there.

Packed full, a football stadium.

He saw no empty chair.

"Evangelist", dad said he was.

He was straightforward, bold -

and not ashamed to preach the Word.

A 'someone' to behold.

A well-read Bible always would

lay open in his hand.

Not like today where gadgets live

and kids don't understand.

But why did people love this man?

What caused his flock to grow?

What special thing did this man have?

At first, he didn't know.

But when the cam'ra zoomed, he saw

a tear run down his face -

while speaking of the love of God

and His amazing grace.

Embarrassed, he was not at all.

He loved those people there.

He cared about their fragile souls

A man like that is rare.

"Just As I Am" was always sung

as invitation song.

A score of people always came

with lines to alter, long.

That little boy had learned a lot

in front of that TeeVee.

He gave his life to Jesus too

and God had set him free!

Before this story poem ends

there's one more thing to know -

I still remember that young boy

so many years ago.
