13 The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. 14 For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.

Johnny Cash - Hurt
At the end of his life Johnny Cash got together with producer Rick Rubin and they covered a lot of different styles of songs. Some of the bands that were covered by Johnny Cash included, Soundgarden, Depeche Mode, and Nine Inch Nails. I think one of the most powerful songs was his cover of Nine Inch Nails hurt. Very powerful religious imagery. He basically speaks of the regrets in his life. There is one point in the video when he sings "I will let you down" and it flashes a picture of Christ. Then another line is "I will make you hurt," and it shows a picture of the nails being hammered into Christ's hands. He also sings of "[his] empire of dirt" then the video flashes to all the awards that Cash has won. Very powerful video. In some ways it seems to be a New Testament interpretation of Eccesiastes.

Regarding your recent comment on my blog, you are not the annoying guy who leaves random, unrelated comments. The others were more random and didn't relate to my post! You're getting married soon! Does that mean you'll stop blogging?
