Capitol Christian Music Group Releases "My Hope," An Album Honoring Evangelical Preacher Billy Graham

Capitol Christian Music Group has just released its newest special album called "My Hope," a project that was inspired by the 95 year old preacher Billy Graham. Graham is from Asheville, North Carolina and has been known to preach to celebrities and politicians. He turned 95 today and is having a star studded birthday party tonight in his hometown in North Carolina.

Peter York, the president of Capitol Christian Music Group, said, "We have been privileged to create this special album honoring Billy Graham, who's message has had a profound life changing influence in each of our lives and in the hearts of people throughout the entire world. Our sincere desire that this collection of songs bring honor to Dr. Graham and the cross of Christ that he has faithfully represented over his many years of ministry. This project was written and recorded out of great respect and appreciation for this incredible man and his message of hope to the world."

One of the many artists included on the compilation is Matthew West. He shared his thoughts about the project when he said, "On a summer day in the Chicago suburbs in 1990, a thirteen year old kid was changing the channels on his TV, looking for a Cubs game. But instead of baseball that day, he found a Billy Graham crusade. That young boy was me, and I will never forget the day I asked Jesus into my heart and how God spoke to me through Billy Graham."
