In a moment that has left millions in tears, the final recorded message of evangelist Jimmy Swaggart has been released — and its words are echoing across the world with a power that transcends time, stage, or denomination.
Filmed in the sanctuary of Family Worship Center just weeks before his passing, Swaggart — seated behind the piano that had been his companion for over seven decades — delivered one last testimony of grace, redemption, and homecoming.
💬 “If you’re watching this, I’m already home…” he began, his voice calm, steady, and filled with peace. “Don’t cry for me. Rejoice. I’ve simply stepped into the presence of the One I’ve sung about all my life.”
With hands trembling slightly over the keys, he played the opening notes of “Jesus, Just the Mention of Your Name” — a song he often called his “anchor.” As he sang, his eyes lifted to the ceiling, as if seeing something only he could see.
“I wasn’t perfect,” he said, “but I was forgiven. And that’s enough for me.”
The message ends with a quiet whisper — not a sermon, not a performance, but a final offering from a life poured out for the gospel:
“Tell them I’ll be waiting by the river… with a song ready, just in case you’re coming too.”
Jimmy Swaggart’s last amen wasn’t spoken — it was lived. And now, he sings where the music never ends.
