His last album I think it was American IV Has a song "When the man comes around" he wrote. He's reading from The Revelation in the beginning and end of the song. Some seemed to know Cash more than others and wrote about him. Kris Kristofferson wrote at least two songs inspired by Cash one was To Beat The Devil and the other The Pilgrim Chapter,33 written in part about Cash.

Cash struggled with his own demons and was honest about it. As far back as the 1970's he did a movie called The Gospel Road about the life of Christ narrated by Cash and June was also in it. I'm assuming he likely wrote most of the songs in it.

“When The Man Comes Around” ... he said that was the hardest song he ever wrote.

When the Man Comes Around is my favorite Johnny Cash song. It’s miraculous. After it, comes Hurt. If you go to this website, you can hear The Man first, and then stay tuned for Hurt:

It’s worth every minute. Just take the address down if you don’t have time to listen now.
