    I can see why Johnny Cash recorded this song....... Cuz its so catchy and lifts the soul. God bless you Jimmy Davis and Johnny Cash! :)

    Lifelong Johnny Cash fan, but I'm glad Sam Phillips asked for something real for Johnny to record. AMEN.
  • A Pentecostal [UPC] Preacher from Jennings, La would always sing that song with his mama... Remember it vividly... Love this song

    A testimony song for Rev. Governor Davis and all others who know Jesus. A wonderful song.

    I have always heard the Johnny Cash version, but I think I like this even better
  • I was saved over youtube, so I can check the history to see when I was saved :)

    Really nice! I too was only familiar with the Johnny Cash version (which is excellent). Love to hear these ealry gsoepl recordings by Jimmie Davis. I have some of his later recordings (1960's or 70's) but I really want to hear more of these early numbers. Thanks for posting.

    Personally I like this version more. Not that there is anything wrong with Cash's cover.
