Michael W. Smith, Who Accompanied Billy Graham on Several Crusades, Performed 'Just As I Am' during the Capitol Service, Wednesday"I will miss Billy—the same way Debbie and I have missed Ruth. But I rejoice in the promise that we will someday be together in Heaven."
Singing "Just As I Am" during the service, Michael said he had "no words to fully describe the emotions from this morning. So grateful!" Also participating in today's service to pay tribute were President Donald Trump, Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Senator Mitch McConnell. Present at the service were Vice President Mike Pence, numerous Cabinet officials, senators, House members and Rev. Graham's family members. The full service can be viewed at this link: https://youtu.be/FQ3730ZOIaQ. Following the news of Rev. Graham's death last week, Michael wrote on his Facebook, "Friend, mentor, counselor, hero, leader, example, pastor-he was so many things to me, making the impact of his passing such a deep hurt. At the same time, I know Billy would be questioning why we grieve. Because he is now in paradise. He is face to face with the Jesus he so loved and served so well.
"I will miss Billy—the same way Debbie and I have missed Ruth. But I rejoice in the promise that we will someday be together in Heaven." Click here to watch a tribute to Billy Graham performed by Michael at the 1996 Dove Awards; it's very appropriate right now.
