Remembering Billy Graham: 5 Christian Singers Share Their Memories of the World-Renowned Evangelist
5. Country music singer-songwriter Mallary Hope
Hope quoted Graham as saying, "I am not going to Heaven because I have preached to great crowds or read the Bible many times. I'm going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: 'Lord, remember me.'"
She comments, "I think that speaks volumes of the way he used his platform. ... What a homecoming he is receiving this morning."
