Hamblin is said to have showed up drunk at the evangelist’s hotel at 2am asking for prayer, but the evangelist refused to pray for him, although he invited him in to talk. As a result, “Hamblin” accepted Jesus and it turned his life around but he was rejected by Hollywood and went through hard times until a friend asked him if he missed his old life and Hamblin replied by saying “It is no secret what God can do.” The friend thought that was a good song title and Hamblin went on to write it and it became a hit.
