 Johnny Cash: Man comes around (2002)

Cash's rocky path through Christian faith and his Christian-themed songs are well known. But one of the last songs he wrote before his death, "Man comes around", was startling because of its underlying message to his fans: repent and believe or face judgement.

Johnny Cash’s “Man comes around”: what do the lyrics mean? Johnny Cash was a deeply religious man, who loved Jesus and the Bible. So much so, that in one of the last songs...

He said the lyrics came from the book of Revelation which makes it easy to extract the message of the song. The 'man' referred to in the title is Jesus on the day of judgement. "Everyone won't be treated all the same," he says, and warns of a coming "terror" so that the "hairs on your arms will stand up." He also offers his listeners an invitation: "Will you partake of that last offered cup?" The entire song is a clear warning and invitation to Christ for those who want to hear.
