The Masterpiece - Johnny Cash[00:00:01]

There was an old stone-cutter[00:00:17]

Who lived in a cabin on the mountain side[00:00:19]

And the old stone-cutter[00:00:22]

Knew it won't be long before he died[00:00:24]

And all around his cabin were statues the man had made[00:00:27]

Statues that the buyers said were all of a mediocre grade[00:00:32]

With his calloused hands he lit[00:00:37]

A lamp and laid down his head on his handmade table[00:00:39]

And he softly whispered Lord[00:00:43]

I'm old and shaky and I'm hardly able[00:00:45]

But give me strenght and wisdom[00:00:49]

And give me a week at least[00:00:51]

And I'll climb up to the top[00:00:54]

Of this mountain and chisel out a masterpiece[00:00:56]

The very next morning he felt new strenght[00:01:00]

And he took his brand[00:01:02]

New hammer and the sharpest chisel[00:01:04]

He began to climb the mountain[00:01:06]

His old feet slipping in the freezing dizzle[00:01:08]

When he finally reached the[00:01:11]

Top he shouted to a world that didn't hear[00:01:13]

I'll carve my masterpiece out of this marble boulder here[00:01:16]

So the hammer beat the[00:01:22]

Chisel and he hammered till an image grew[00:01:23]

Then he stopped to look it[00:01:28]

Over to appraise his work when he was through[00:01:29]

It was a boy carrying a crippled[00:01:33]

Boy and the old man said it isn't my masterpiece[00:01:35]

I'll call it charity and then a masterpiece of mine will be[00:01:39]

So the hammer beat the chisel[00:01:45]

Til another immage in a marbel grew[00:01:47]

Then the wind began to blowing[00:01:50]

And he sat and rested when he was through[00:01:52]

It was the image of a mother holding her child[00:01:55]

He said this is love as the world would know[00:01:59]

But it isn't my masterpiece and he began again as it began to snow[00:02:02]

The hammer beat the chisel as[00:02:10]

The snow fell harder and the wind grew and grew[00:02:12]

He fell to his knees holding a[00:02:15]

Stone and he threw down his hammer and his chisel too[00:02:17]

He lay frozen face down in[00:02:21]

The snow but one hand was held for the world to see[00:02:23]

Cut in the marble was his[00:02:28]

Masterpice three neatly carved letters G O D[00:02:30]
