Matthew 24 — Strum-Along
I first heard Johnny Cash sing this song at a Billy Graham crusade sometime in the 1970s, and I learned it then. It’s maybe more timely today than it was back then. I found several different recordings of this song by Johnny Cash on YouTube, and one of them used the same lyrics as I…
