Doc Watson:
‘I done had a vision;
I seen them pearly gates a’closin’
An’ I seen you sinners all outside.
You better make your decision,
An’ pray that you’ll be chosen, chosen,
‘It’ll be too late when you’ve laid down and died.’
Story ... I used to go to Poor David’s pub on lower Greenville Ave in Dallas to see Doc Watson. It was small enough that only 100 or so of us could squeeze in. I was attending seminary at the time, just down the street.
+20 years later I caught up with Doc on his last tour. Bigger venue near PHL.
Doc shared his testimony of how another performing artist had shared the Gospel with him just a couple years ago. He shared how he had entrusted himself to Christ for salvation.
I’d always wondered if he knew Christ. It was nice to know heaven will be filled with his guitar - and he will have eyesight for the first time.
If anyone is actually nfamiliar with Doc Watson, here’s one of his famous songs.
