Johnny Cash and Psalm 39
October 9, 2010
In today’s post on Praying the Psalms I wrote meditations on Psalm 39. Along about verse 13 I had one of those head-slapping moments as the words, “I am a poor, wayfaring stranger…” echoed in my mind. We learned this spiritual based on Psalm 39 when I was in grade school and I’ve always loved it.
Here is Johnny Cash, eminently qualified from his personal life as well as his musical talent, to sing this great hymn. I wonder, do school children today learn this kind of music?
R. Now and forever. Amen.

Enjoyed it, Barb.
Then, just for the fun of it, I opened it in two tabs and played them a few seconds apart. Interesting effect – Johnny singing with Johnny for double the pleasure or to mess with your mind. Thank you muchly.
Very clever idea, Joann.
