Billy was a drunkard. He used to drink all night. He dreaded going to bed because he feared that he would wake up in hell. A friend once said of him, "He was the wildest, most daring and reckless of all the reckless, daring men." After Jesus saved Billy from such a life, Billy had two constant companions: a Bible and a hymnbook. He fell in love with the Savior. He could not help but worship Him. 

Billy said concerning his salvation, "In an instant, the Lord made me so happy that I cannot express what I felt... I praised God with my whole heart for what He had done for a poor sinner like me. Once Billy told a group of Christians, "I can't help praising the Lord! As I go along the street, I lift up one foot, and it seems to say 'Glory!' and I lift up the other and it seems to say 'Amen'; and so they keep on like that all the time I am walking." To another group, he read the first line of a hymn by Charles Wesley, "O, for a thousand tongues to sing-" and then he would say, "Just think, that's 999 tongues more than I have got!"

Billy Bray was one simple man who heeded the call of God upon his life. By the grace of God, he was changed from a rebel to a worshiper. The call of God has not changed, because the One worthy of our worship has not changed. If we are ever to discover the joy of worship that Billy Bray experienced, we must bow before Jesus, the Lamb of God. He will cleanse our sins and usher us into the presence of God. We will then humbly worship Him with our whole hearts saying, "Thou art worthy!"
