To date, the music video has reached more than 10 million people, with more than 4 million unique views.
"A few years ago, Pat Boone, David Pack from Ambrosia and I wrote a tribute song for Billy Graham," says Dean. "This project was one of the most important things I've ever done in music... to honor a Holy Man who stood on the principles this country was founded on. Thank you, Billy Graham!"
The music video honoring Graham's life work features vocals from many familiar voices including Dean, Pat Boone, Kenny Rogers, LeAnn Rimes, Marty Stuart, Michael McDonald, Jeffrey Osborne, the late Andraé Crouch, and narration from Larry King.
