A Cowboyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Christmas Prayer
I ain't much good at prayin', and you may not know me, Lord,
i ain't seen in churches where they preach thy holy word,
but You may have observed me out here on the lonely plains,
alooking after cattle, feelin' thankful when it rains,
admirin' thy great handiwork, the miracle of grass,
aware of thy kind spirit in the way it comes to pass
that hired men on horseback and the livestock that we tend
can look up at the stars at night and know we've got a friend.
So here's ol' Christmas comin' on, remindin' us again
of Him whose coming brought good will into the hearts of men.
A cowboy ain't no preacher, Lord, but if you'll hear my prayer,
I'll ask as good as we have got for all men everywhere.
Don't let no hearts be bitter, Lord; don't let no child be cold.
Make easy beds for them that's sick, and them that's weak and old.
Let kindness bless the trail we ride, no matter what we're after,
and sorter keep us on your side, in tears as well as laughter.
I've seen old cows a-starvin' and it ain't no happy sight;
please don't leave no one hungry, Lord on thy good Christmas night
no man, no child, no women, and no critter on four feet
Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll aim to do my best to help you find 'em chuck to eat.
I'm just a sinful cowpoke Lord, ain't got no business prayin'
but still I hope you'll ketch a word or two of what Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m sayin'
we speak of Merry Christmas, Lord, I reckon you'll agree
there ain't no Merry Christmas for nobody that ainâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t free
so one thing more Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll ask you, Lord; just help us when you can
to save some seeds of freedom for the future sons of man
