A Believer Sings the Truth is a gospel double album and 63rd overal album by American country singer Johnny Cash. Though eventually released by Columbia records, Cash had trouble convincing the label to release the album, and initially released it on his own on the Cachet label and as a radio special with added narration.

His efforts paid off, as the album made it into the Country Top 50, peaking at #43. Columbia was doubtful that a double album of gospel songs would be commercially successful. The album was never released on CD. Two tracks appeared on the God album and two tracks on the ultimate gospel album. The full album, A Believer Sings the Truth as well as I Believe appear on the compilation album, "Bootleg Vil IV: The Soul of Truth" in 2012.
