On Februrary 1, 2009, George Beverly Shea celebrated his 100th birthday. The beloved gospel singer is known my millions as the soloist on the Billy Graham team.
At the age of 23 he put music to the poem, “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” and it became one of his most famous songs. Below he is singing one of the songs he wrote, “The Wonder of It All.”
In 1982 a 20 minute movie was produced about his music and ministry. As I watch the movie, I am so impressed by his personality and humility. Perhaps he is best known for his rendition of “How Great Thou Art.” If you fast forward to the last 4 minutes of the movie, you will hear him discuss and sing the song.
