A Mother's Love (Narrative) - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
We are in Nazareth within a few feet[00:00:06]
Of this place Jesus lived as a child[00:00:09]
With his father Joseph the carpenter[00:00:11]
And his mother Mary[00:00:13]
In Jerusalem the mother of Jesus watched[00:00:16]
Her son die on the cross[00:00:18]
She stood by to give him the only thing[00:00:21]
That she had left a mother's love[00:00:23]
It was my mother who first told me[00:00:26]
Of Israel stories of this land[00:00:29]
That made it so dear to me that I am draw[00:00:30]
Like a prodigal son to relive these stories[00:00:33]
Here's a two thousand year old story[00:00:36]
That tells of the strength of a mother's love[00:00:38]
Once a young man lived with[00:00:42]
His mother beside a great forest[00:00:44]
The young man was in love with[00:00:47]
A beautiful girl who lived in the forest[00:00:49]
He told the girl in the forest[00:00:51]
That if she would marry him[00:00:53]
He would bring her anything that she asked[00:00:55]
Knowing that the young man lived[00:00:56]
With his mother the girl said[00:00:59]
Take your dagger and cut out your mother's heart[00:01:00]
And bring it to me and I will marry you[00:01:04]
Well this made the young man very sad[00:01:07]
But he wanted to merry the girl so he killed[00:01:09]
His mother and cut out her heart[00:01:12]
Running through the forest[00:01:14]
With his mother's heart in his hands[00:01:15]
He stumbled and fell and dropped the heart[00:01:17]
As he was getting up his mother's[00:01:20]
Heart cried out from the ground[00:01:22]
My son did you hurt yourself when you fell[00:01:25]
