Thanksgiving Rap/I Thank You Lord by Johnny Cash

From the November 25, 1970 Thanksgiving episode of "The Johnny Cash Show," Cash dons overalls and sits down alone to recite a poem about counting one's blessings, then sings "I Thank You Lord." Powerful stuff... because it's true.

I have to agree with with that those words are something we should all live by and should feel in our hearts remember we need to take care of each other people helping people if you see somebody down on their luck don't just take for granted that they are on drugs or something it doesn't take much for any of us to become homeless all it takes is a family member getting sick or somebody being laid off that's all it takes we are all just a paycheck away from being homeless and being in that same boat take your time if you can't give somebody a little cash give him a shirt a jacket buy them a hamburger Anythink could help even just a good ear that they can unload all their burdens believe me that can help a lot and make things a lot better just remember this God put us here for reason and we need to figure that out before it's too late God bless happy holiday be thankful for what you have what you might receive and what you've lost it's all for a a good reason and we won't know till we meet our own Fates and stand at the gates and watch our own video of Our Lives play back for us then we'll know that was all for a reason

@@sgtbilkothe3rd Thank you. That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. Johnny does this so beautifully and with such feeling, but then he always did everything that way.
