Heaven holds a place for everyone who wants to live with, and love, the one true, living, loving creator of the universe. There another place for everyone else. And I recommend avoiding that place with all your heart, mind, and soul.
I remember a guy who visited a church I attended in the Denver metro area years ago. As I recall, he ran a camp where young kids and teenagers from broken homes could ride horses as a form of therapy. And I was impressed by how well young people could bond with those amazing animals. Horses are some of God’s best designs. And I think they find a favor with Him too. They are highly regarded in the Bible.
Anyway…
Hearing that man talk about his camp, inspired me to write a song about the bond between a horse and its owner for rider. And I sent a copy of the song to him, and I know for a while it was on his website. I didn’t do a fancy full production of the song. Just a quick recording with a simple beat and minimal instrumentation. I’ll share the song in an upcoming podcast episode. In the meantime, here are the lyrics to…
My Horse
Heaven holds a place for my horse
Standin’ straight and strong and tall.
All the trails we’ve taken; even when her legs were achin’,
She never lets me down at all.
God was great when He made my horse…
Perfect since she was a foal.
Ranchin’ skills to master; no horse learned ’em faster
There’s a bonfire in her soul.
So, Lord don’t take my horse too early.
We’ve got lots of work to do.
Chasin’ cattle, lots of ropin’, and it’s silly but I’m hopin’
I can ride her all the way to You.
I’m at home when I’m on my horse.
Across the prairies we will fly.
With her nostrils flarin’ and the people starin’
We could race into the sky. © 2008 TF
