Johnny Cash has always been my favorite singer. I met him once. I remember he was really nice-- and really big! Not fat, but tall and stocky, just a big man.
This is just astounding. It is amazing that the rubes in the pews bought his low rent, low class act. Johnny Cash had absolutely no connection to the divine.
We sang this song in Sunday School when I was in 3rd grade for worship time. I was so glad to listen to this and remember ow much fun I had in 3rd grade.
The Holy Spirit prompted me to write some new lyrics: Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me (3x), Look away beyond the blue. Walking out in victory, our Savior reigns (3x), Look away beyond the blue. Set apart from this old world, our home is in heaven (3x), Look away beyond the blue. I've gotta home in gloryland that outshines the sun (3x), Look away beyond the blue. One day soon, we'll see His face, our King comes so quickly (3x), Look away beyond the blue. Revelation @-11, John 14:1-4, 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15. I sang it acapella yesterday with Have Thine Own Way and a new song Oh Lord, Won't You Give Me A Ticket To Heaven. Jesus is Lord!!!
These times call for Saints like you. Your ministry of praise that goes out all over the world! Mark 16: verse 15: And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans 10:17 Then faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God. The Birth Of Jesus Christ (see also Isaiah 53:5) Isaiah 7:14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal, the body was mutilated, the blood was poured out, but the bones were not broken, buried in a Tomb and risen on the 3rd day. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6: 23 "I am the way, the truth and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me." John 14.6 "1 Corinthians 15: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1: 7 Matthew 26:28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the redemption of sins." Ephesians 2: 8: "Because you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you. This is the gift of God". Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day, and we will be saved! John 20: 24-31; See also 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 above. Romans 10: 9 If you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given to salvation. 13 For the one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive from God (not man) the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21: 8 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ”Romans 5: 1
I've got a home in glory land that out shines the sun! Praise Lord! Hallelujah! Can't wait to get to that eternal home where there will be no more pain, no more suffering, no more death, a place where we'll never grow old. Amen!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful memorie from my childhood... Cheyenne Wyoming and Cheyenne Frontier Daze... I remember that gospel song that I heard long ago! Hearing Johnny Cash Sing Those CFD nightshows of long long ago! And hearing about Johnny Cash own testimony of trapped in a mining incident as a young man! He cried out to JESUS help me through the dark tunnels out of the belly of the mine
This song brings me memories of my Grandpa Jesse. I called him papa. He was an amazing man and lived a great life. I’m not even religious, but I do believe he is in heaven with my grandma, and I’ll be able to see him again someday
