01/28/20 TWO GREAT SONGS

I recently confused 2 songs. One song has, They wouldn't Bow, Bend, "BURN," the other song says, "...THEY WOULDN'T WORSHIP ANYONE BUT GOD. "

It is not that I don't make mistakes, I do and I know it. But when I make a public mistake I like to set the record straight.

After service recently, someone brought to my attention that I had confused the words of a popular Gospel song, written by Arthur Smith (The Fourth Man, which was sung by Johnny Cash, The Statler Brothers and The Statesmen Quartet), with a song that was written by one of our own people. It is not a big deal, but I do like to clear up the confusion I cause.

Sometimes when I am confronted with a correction, I acknowledge I could be wrong or that I am wrong. Then when the evidence disproves my point of view, I accept it (being the gracious and humble person that I am... hehehe). I am stubborn, but I try not to be pigheaded or proud or difficult. Any way, back to the songs.

The words to the Arthur Smith chorus includes,
They wouldn't bend...
They wouldn't bow...
They wouldn't burn...

I believe the words to our song say,
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow
They wouldn't worship anyone but God.

Both of these songs are great songs. I linked The Fourth Man in my post. I hope to hope to share the other song with you also.
