Billy, I remember
The first time that I saw you
On our black and white
I was just a little tyke
But I remember it well
Billy, I remember
Wanting to grow up and be a man like you
Serve the Lord the way you do
Yes, I remember it well
And, Billy, through the years
You've been a great example of faithfulness
As you stood before the world
And you proclaimed what the Bible says
We know you don't want to be called a hero
And, Billy, we know, we understand
You're just another man
But you've been so faithful to the call
And, Billy, you've stood tall
You're a hero of the faith to us all
Billy, I remember
The miracle I saw
When you said, "come to Christ"
So many came to give their lives
I remember it well
Billy, I remember
Thanking God for sending us a man like you
Hoping He could use me too
Yes, I remember it well
And, Billy, through the years
You've been a great example of faithfulness
As you stood before the world
And you proclaimed what the Bible says
And we know you don't want to be called a hero
And, Billy, we know, we understand
You're just another man
But you've been so faithful to the call
And, Billy, you've stood tall
You're a hero of the faith to us all
You sure keep it simple
And you sure preach it plain
And, Billy, I just wish
More would preach it just the same
And we know you don't want to be called a hero
And, Billy, we know, we understand
You're just another man
But you've been so faithful to the call
And, Billy, you've stood tall
You're a hero of the faith to us all
You're a hero of the faith to us all
