Emotions




I’m not a savior, and I’m not a saint.
The man with the answers I certainly ain’t.
I wouldn’t tell you what’s right or what’s wrong.
I’m just a singer of songs.

But I can take you for a walk along a little country stream.
I can make you see through lovers’ eyes and understand their dreams.
I can help you hear a baby’s laugh and feel the joy it brings.
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing.
I’m not a prophet, and I’m not a priest.
I’m not a wise man who’s come from the East.
I wouldn’t tell you what’s right or what’s wrong.
I’m just a singer of songs.

But I can take you to a city where a man was crucified.
I can tell you how He lived, and I can tell you why He died.
I can help proclaim the glory of this mighty king of kings.
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing.
I’m not a great man. I don’t claim to be.
But when I meet my Maker and He questions me,
I won’t hang my head. I will stand proud and strong
and say, “I was a singer. Lord, I was a singer.
Yes, I was a singer of song.” 

-Johnny Cash


I was listening to this song in the kitchen this morning while cleaning up breakfast. 
All of the sudden I was getting all mushy inside and tears were sneaking out.

Later, I told Cam, "I totally teared up listen to Johnny Cash's Singer of Songs this morning. It was a cool testimony."

Cam replied with a bewildered and somewhat annoyed look on his face, " You are definitely pregnant."

Jeremiah would probably agree with you and he's not pregnant ;-) (he's a big fan of Jonny Cash!)
