Matthew West releases new hopeful single inspired by Billy Graham

Matthew West released his new single “Last Page of the Bible” featuring Anne Wilson, just ahead of his new album set to be released next month. 

"This song is inspired by the late Billy Graham who famously said, ‘I’ve read the last page of the Bible and it all works out in the end,’" says West. "The last page of the Bible says, ‘He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.’ I love this verse in Revelation 22:20. It reminds us of the ultimate hope we have in our God who reigns in victory! I hope you love it."
