Johnny Cash: Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord)

[jkdxtr321]

i notice nowadays whenever there's good artist singing spiritual songs that they understood the meaning, there's always an argument about atheist vs christian, can you people move to watching those useless god exist vs god not exist debate, leave the music out of it.

[AtomicDawg713]

I'm reading RC Sproul's The Holiness of God. On page 52, he quotes from this spiritual, so I googled and came across this video. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[HippieNoMore]

I love this song and I'm not part of any religious faction whatsoever. Good music is good music.

[sineadc1973]

[TheGutlessGoose]

Johnny Cash, The Carter Family and The Statler Brothers. what a sound sends chills down my spine yet.

[ROBSTA69able]

Christ is my Savior, not my religion.

[MajorRoy]

This chapel of ritual

Smells of dead human sacrifices

From the altar bed

[cskyinthalou]

There is an even better version of this that used to be here on youtube; from maybe 10 years later. PLEASE REPOST!!!!

[porkpiepaul]

This song brings me to tears, what a voice....

[cdp6593]

such a beautiful and truthful song

[TheMuffinator100]

i know these are annoying so it will be different

that one dislike person is an athiest and/or deaf beyond repair or saving

[abargle]

@TheMuffinator100 Why invest yourself in someone's opinion? Free Will includes the freedom to have differences in musical taste.

[TheMuffinator100]

@abargle yeah but it's johnny cash i don't know anybody who doesn't like this guys music

[Superape613]

@TheMuffinator100 >implying atheists can't appreciate religious music. You're the worst kind of person.

[TheMuffinator100]

@Superape613 no i mean like the atheist who hate everything about god and all day just hate on christians Muslims Jews and every other religion

also your atheist so why are you listening to something about god especially something we use as praise in Sunday masses

that implys to me that you are having doubts about being atheist

[Superape613]

@TheMuffinator100 even if an atheist hates religion, that doesn't make them a bad person. So long as they don't try to have a negative impact on the lives of religious people. Evidently you hate atheists, thus you're just as bad as the kind of people you're decrying. Furthermore, religion has been a major theme in music for hundreds of years. My views don't impact on my taste of music. I have no doubts about being an atheist. In fact, you're reinforcing my beliefs about the perils of religion.

[TheMuffinator100]

@Superape613 1. i never said atheist were bad people alot of atheist did and still do good things

2. alot of atheist i know hate everything and anything about religion and i was forced to believe this about all atheist but i do not hate them

3. i was curious why an atheist would be listening to this type of music i thought atheist come hear just to hate on christiantiy

[DeathCabForCutie182]

@TheMuffinator100 i'm an athiest, and i appreciate gospel music (by johnny cash especially) for what it is: beautiful. your ignorance is astounding, and also rather unsettling.

[skat479]

HE IS RISEN!!!

[used2benlightened]

Praise God, Thank you Jesus for saving us!

[kjbrimm]

Thank you for loving us so much God that you would send your son Jesus to Die for us so we could live a everlasting life with you in heaven!

[cclyda]

Such a beautiful song and so much feeling, it gives me the shivers down my back, I can see Him on the cross.

[Chenolicious1]

Johnny's voice perfectly captures the sad, yet glorious day God's Son paid our price!!!

[canthill3]

I seen a clip of him singing this but in a faster version it was so cool,but i can never seem to find it again . Anyone else seen it and if so please post it

[MrRandall1214]

Anita has been singin with all them Angels Praise God!

[hucklberrydoc]

Not one person didn't like this yet. I like that.

[mailbox2]

Phenominal , Johhny , the Carter Sisters and I think the Statler Brothers........what a combination.

[sumerixt]

@mailbox2 Yes it was the Statler Brothers. Johnny is the one who gave them their start. Look on here for the song "We got paid by Cash" by the Statlers. They basically tell the whole story in that song.

[12Daniel7]

Hauntingly Beautiful. He causes me to tremble, tremble with: Joy, Peace, Mercy, and Love. A Love for me, A Love of Eternal Life, a Love of Healing, a Unconditional Love that has taken sin from me. Hallelujah-Thank-You-Jesus. AMEN & AMEN.

[keefer2111]

Jonny and June are walking in the Light..Prays jesus.

[ahnotherguitarplayer]

so glad to have videos like this. all of these voices are amazing, especially the leading woman.

[kez6969dan73]

[hiwakhiwa]

well i was there, even i heard him saying " please dont make any new holes in my hands and feet, please use the old once pleasseeeeeeeee:)

great song love you Jonny Cassh

[prophesize]

The answer: No. Sorry.

[agmlaz]

This song and the way it is sung, is simply amazing to me. Very touching and inspiring. Why can't there be more main stream music like this toady.

[Just4Meeeee]

Anita Carter, an unbelieveable voice! Hard to believe she wasn't more famous than she was. She was an angelic voice that was only on loan to us until The Lord called her back home. I still prefer the 1960 version for the arrangement but I could listen to her sing all day. JR was pretty good too, but Anita... WOW!!!

[whereswinzo]

oh you saw the saddam hussain one too then?

[theincrediblesmiffy]

@whereswinzo yeah that wasnt as funny as jesus' because he deserved it but still a hoot

[whereswinzo]

as was i, tickets were a little overpriced though weren't they?

[theincrediblesmiffy]

@whereswinzo yeah ive got a season ticket

[theincrediblesmiffy]

i was there, it was funny

[Johnny122108]

Glory Be to God

[waylo4526]

wow ! this cant be beat...GLORY TO JESUS...AMEN!!

[henrymartyn]

simply classic.

[beers4anickel]

now that's a real American Idol.

[HiWayLady49]

I knew the Roman's gambled for Christ's clothes, but I had never heard that story about the one soldier. I would love to know the source if anyone has information on it. It should make for a very touching sermon....the song certainly does, but ...I like to know the 'rest of the story'.

[carterfan67]

Anita, that voice is just unearthly, rest in peace Angel

[wermland]

I just love the lyrics. That, and his voice.

[ohappydayohappyday]

i like johnny cash!

[carigara50]

Besser geht es nicht!!!

[Waellerwutz]

@carigara50 du hast recht. schau dir auch mal "another man done gone" an. jc und anita carter singen dort so, dass ich jedesmal gänsehaut bekomme

[sittinginthebasement]

Wow, great video. Not only was Anita the best singer of the Carters, she was also the most beautiful.

[ataramprat]

Magnificent.
