And from that moment forward \u2013 Johnny always\nbattled the feelings that no matter how hard he tried \u2013 he simply\nwasn\u2019t ever going to be good enough.

If you only had one song to sing \u2013 one message to\ngive \u2013 what would that song \u2013 what would that life message be?

What\u2019s your life song?\xa0

(Acts 20:24) \u201cI consider my life worth nothing to me,\nif only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given\nme\u2014the task of testifying to the Gospel of God\u2019s grace\u201d

(Ephesians 2:3-7) \u201cAll of us also lived among them at\none time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its\ndesires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But\nbecause of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with\nChrist even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been\nsaved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly\nrealms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the\nincomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ\nJesus.\u201d

\n\n\n\n

(Ephesians 2:8-10) \u201cFor it is by grace you have been\nsaved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not\nby works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in\nChrist Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to\ndo.\u201d

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

(1 Peter 1:3-4) \u201cPraise be to the God and Father of\nour Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a\nliving hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an\ninheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for\nyou.\u201d

\n\n\n\n

But if he had it to do all over again, Johnny Cash knows\nfor certain that he would live out of the hope he had in Jesus Christ.
