I know Johnny Cash didn't write this song with a Christian walk in mind, but that doesn't mean we can't read it, hum it, sing along with our Christian walk in mind. Hey, maybe we could even add it to a worship set some day soon.
I Walk the Line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

Did you see the movie Walk the Line? I thought it was awesome..and the actors actually learned how to sing for it!
What a renaissance man you are - Kanye West & Johnny Cash, within inches of each other on the same blog.
The movie tells us he was raised on a hymnal. Maybe the Christian walk was in the back of his mind.
Walk the Line is a great story of redemption and community. In his later years, Johnny Cash returned to his roots of Christianity. It is amazing to see how this great cultural icon led a life of redemption later in his story.
Thanks Sue...I mean Drew.
hey - Chicago's been crazy. Still praying though. Grace...
