I do wish WordPress would stop with the anonymity and let me know who’s posting comments, so I know whom to thank.
For Wayfaring Stranger, thanks, whoever you are.
Sung here by Johnny Cash.

By Request, ‘The Man Comes Around’
Requested by Susan: When the Man Comes Around, by Johnny Cash. You might call it the Book of Revelation, set to music.
There’s something about this song that demands to be taken seriously. Revelation has an urgent message; and maybe it’s time we started listening.
And changing our ways.
By Request, ‘I Saw the Light’
Johnny Cash sang this in a Columbo episode, many years ago. Here we have it sung by Josh Turner.
Requested by one of my chess buddies from Chessgames.com, “Ohio Chess Fan.”
‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down’
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves and start thinking, “Well, we’re all basically good, so we’re all going to heaven when we die.”
We don’t get there because we deserve it, earn it, God owes it to us. We get there by God’s grace alone.
And this holiday weekend is as good a time as any to remember that.
‘The Man Comes Around’
Set to music the Book of Revelation, and this is what you get–The Man Comes Around, by Johnny Cash.
This is not a light-hearted jaunt through the scriptures. This is something that we need to know–and had better not forget.
‘Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?’
It’s Good Friday, a holy day, the day we dedicate to the crucifixion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Never forget! Death could not keep its prey; God rolled the stone away.
Where You There When They Crucified My Lord?, sung by Johnny Cash.
Remember: this was the payment for our sins. This was forgiveness.
‘You Are My Sunshine’ (Johnny Cash)
This is one of my very earliest memories: my father cradling me in his arms, rocking me back and forth, and singing this song to me: You Are My Sunshine. I used to get a lot of nightmares. This was how he comforted me. It always worked.
I need my Heavenly Father’s comfort now. This cancer business (not forgetting the rest of it!) is beginning to get to me. I cling to fond memories and call up others; and then it’s time for tears, because they are only memories. All those people I loved are gone.
This turns out to be the only day this week I don’t have one or even two doctors’ appointments. *Sigh* I miss my cats.
By Request, ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, sung by Johnny Cash: Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. We used to sing this at Y Camp. It’s a great hymn to sing around the campfire–and even better in a mess hall with a couple hundred kids.
By Request, ‘I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day’
Again, everybody, Merry Christmas!
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day–and listen to the lyrics. God does not sleep, He cannot fail. He will carry out His work of peace and righteousness… and He will heal us.
Sung by Johnny Cash.
By Request, ‘In the Sweet By and By’
That last “education” nooze I posted… well, it disgusted me. Let’s have a hymn instead.
Erlene requested this one, In the Sweet By and By, and I chose this rather nice rendition by Johnny Cash.
Now I think I can work on my book.
