This song is an anthem of redemption. Kristofferson is not a man who usually struggles to express his thoughts. It's amazing to watch him struggle with the story behind this song because it requires such a public display of deep humility. And that takes courage. Kristofferson has always been a very genuine individual with strong doses of honesty and integrity. That's why Johnny, Waylon and Willie made him the 4th member of the Highwaymen.

[@johansmit5066]

This was the first song I ever sung in my life . I was 3 years old my uncle played the piano I stood beside him in church and started singing it . I’m 56 now and still to this day I cry every time I sing it or hear it. It will be played when my time on earth is thru . I too carry guilt etc and this song helps me hang on and remember God forgives and he lifts our burdens . I feel I don’t deserve his grace but he still gives it . God is so good even when I wasted most of my life away . Oh how I need him . I wil never be able to repay him but maybe I can too help someone else by what I have been thru and how Gods love and mercy has helped me thru this life .

Ask for divine intervention in our current state of the nation, for I believe, if we are humble enough, & will keep asking through prayer & repent of missing the mark, our sins, He is just & faithful to redeem us. Scripture tells us He makes all things work to our good for those who will have confidence in the Lord. Behold, He makes all things new. 🙏🏼🆕 Our counselor & High Priest Amen

[@Tom-ym7bm]

Do not be ashamed to keep asking

[@dhebert111]

I believe he made life just a bit easier to struggle and live through. Knowing that the son of God has been where the rest of his children have been, gives us a way to relate to him on a level we'd never been able to before. Thank God for that gift. Jesus, while holding a mirror up to humanity, shows us how flawed we really are, and that it's ok, and like a father, will always still love us despite our shortcomings. A saying around here, "the Acadians" (like me), goes like this, "Nobody's perfect in this world. In our entire history there's only ever been one man who was perfect, and we crucified him for it", *(roughly translated from French to English). My father, now 83, used to sing this song in the morning all the time. It warms the heart every time I hear it. I appreciate having him around still. Thank God

[@Angela-ho4qx]

It not only owns you, and all that you have, it consumes you, if ya don't quit, the answer always seems to be to OD and nod hard one last time.

I’m 56 years old and have been singing this since I was a little girl. I never knew the story behind this and it to know it brings the power out of this song. What a testimony. That IS the way God works. I too stumbled into what I thought was just going to be a Christian band concert and God transformed me from the inside out. Had no idea what He was doing.

My American husband introduced me to C/W music. My favorite is George Jones. I also liked Kris Kristofferson, specially this song. My husband was never a fan of him, but I was. Love many songs he had written and sang. He had a great talent. He sure had a wild life, but I adored him. I totally love this song. Makes me cry.

[@danielkrastoff6388]

RIP Chris. Thank you for the music 🙏🏻

[@msiddian]

This is my husband's favorite song of all times.. we have both questioned God a lot when we lost our 20 yrs old son. Nothing could be worse, and we drifted away from God for a while. One day, I just fell to my knees and asked God why He had left me and not helped me. I heard God say, "I didn't leave you, you left me." That was an awakening. I still don't understand why my only child was taken, but I do know one day I will be with him again, and it will be then when I understand..

[@kennydavis4285]

Praying for you for the lost of your son, I've lost s son too. God is a big God he can handle our pain. Anita

[@tinashelby7731]

Sometimes I believe that when God take someone home that's so young that he has special plans for them. Or maybe he wants to prevent them from going through something in life that would have been so bad. I think he loves the young ones so so much because even in their early 20's they are still just babies in Christ. Maybe he makes them an Angel that a tiny child fighting cancer here on Earth that might need. I can't think of anything that could be worse than loosing a child. It has taken a very long time for me to come to grips with loosing my Husband. I could not imagine one of my 2 children. It took me 14 years to finally realize that after everything I've been through and it's been alot. But we all have a story. Again nothing like loosing a child. But for 14 years I've want to die. I literally wanted to die. 2 days after his funeral I sat with 2 bottles, ( 240 ) 80mg Oxycontin pills that had been delivered 2 day after he passed. He had cancer. His pain meds came directly from the laboratory. They had already been ordered from Dr and had been in route when he died. So I'm sitting there and all I could think of was how I didn't know how to live without him. My kids were 19 (daughter) and a 17 year old son. She had moved out 2 weeks before he was diagnosed. She offered to move back but I told her if be ok. My son still lived at home. So at his funeral after everyone paid their respects I walked up to the casket one last time before his eulogy. All of a sudden I felt 2 arms around my waist. O e on each side. I suddenly realized it was my kids. He raised them but was not biologically their Dad. Anyway when I realized it was my kids standing there to comfort me. I had never been more proud of them in my life. I cherish them and at that moment without saying a word I knew that they cherished me to. So as I'm about to open the pills and start swallowing as fast as I could. All of a sudden this great big picture flashed crystal clear in my head. It was my two kids standing beside a casket in such despair, crying so hard. Just those two, trying to comfort each other because they had no body left. All they had was me and I had been so selfish in my own pain that I wanted to be with my husband so bad that I didn't even think about them. In a flash I jumped up and ran to the bathroom and flushed all 280 pills down the toilet. God intervened that day. Then I realized he has a reason for all that he does. We don't always understand why but if we can trust in him that in time he will make it right as long as you have faith and trust in him. I think what I'm trying to say is maybe if you try to think of your son in such a way that God didn't take him from you he just needed him for a while. He's an angel in maybe the form of a little friend to a child that's gonna pass and your son is there because out of everyone on this entire planet your son was the only one good enough to do this job and when the time comes his job will be over and your tour on this is over to. You'll reunite again in heaven. That's how I kind of look at it with my husband. My kids are 33 and 35 now. I have 2 grandson's and a beautiful granddaughter. They all still need me here that's why he stopped me from taking those pills and as for my husband. God needed him for something and one day I'll know and we will all reunite in that glorious place he prepared for us called Heaven. 🤗 God Bless you and your husband. I don't know if I made any sense just know my heart is in it and I mean well.

[@kimberlyhortz8275]

We don't understand why the Lord choses some to die. We only know we miss them. I went to church to listen to a sermon. After the sermon the preacher spoke about things only God and myself would know. The preacher then said that the Lord wanted her to pray for me. I realized that God loved me. I had loved him pretty much all my life. I had not been perfect. I had made a lot of mistakes. Someday you will see your son again. I believe he is with Christ. Keep working for the Lord in this life. Because he gave his son for your sins.

So humble, such a simple testimony which is why God heard the pureness of his heart. Man looks on the outside and God looks on the heart. All through the Bible, God chooses the least expected person to be a testimony for his Glory. In the Bible it says that the first in this life will be the last and the last in this life will be first. Jesus, the son of God will hear the simplest softest cry for help…that’s why in the Bible it says,”Be still and know that I am God.” This song is a testimony in itself.
