Hello, I'm Joanne Cash, and I'm the youngest sister of Johnny Cash.
And I'd like to say something to you today.
[G] If Johnny were [A] here today, he's in heaven [D] right now, but if he were here today,
he would [A] tell you that Jesus Christ is the Son of God [G] and that He loves you so, [D] so much.
One of my last conversations with my brother was, [G] was he ready [D] to go to heaven?
And he said, oh, yes, I can't hardly wait.
So I'm [A] asking you today, are you ready?
And [G] if you're not, all you have to do is say, Jesus, come [D] into my heart.
[G] He's so wonderful and He's so real.
He changed my [D] life, He changed Johnny's [A] life, and He will [D] change yours. _
