Charlie Daniels and Michael W. Smith, both Tennessee residents, led the crowd in worship during Franklin Graham's 20th Decision America stop in Nashville on Tuesday.
 
A view from the back: Around 8,600 people stood in questionable weather to be part of Decision America. That's the highest attended tour stop so far, with 30 more states to go.

Franklin Graham shares Scripture from the book of Nehemiah at each event. “We need more Nehemiahs,” he said, referring to the prophet’s commitment to praying for his people and repenting on behalf of the rulers in his day.

Many people who have attended the prayer rallies say it's time for Christians to stop being so passive and stand firm for God.
 
Tuesday’s prayer rally attendees got a double treat. The Charlie Daniels Band kicked the event off with a couple of worship songs and Michael W. Smith later joined them for a special rendition of "Amazing Grace" at the end.
