Who doesn’t love the majestic strength and beauty of horses? Let’s see a show of hands. Anybody? Hello? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Those creatures are amazing, aren’t they. No surprise they’re so popular in Bible verses. Even though they’re mentioned a lot in the Bible, have you ever wondered if there’ll be horses in heaven?

My guess is…it would be pretty hard for “the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean” to actually follow “Him on white horses” if there were no horses in heaven. Sounds logical to me. How about you?

Did you know that before the invention of steam engines (and other types of engines) horses were the fastest form of transportation on the planet? It’s true. They’ve played important roles in farming, ranching, business, and even war. And here’s a very interesting fact I didn’t realize before today…the immune system of horses provides the anti-toxin, tetanus. Have you ever gotten a tetanus shot after cutting or injuring yourself on something rusty? Well, quit horsing around and thank a horse today.

Yes, I believe there will be horses in heaven. In fact, I believe they are there now. Can I prove it? Nope. But if people are gonna be riding them out of heaven into this world to put an end to the evil…they must be there. Until we all know for sure, here are the words and music 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.

Chorus…instrumental…chorus twice to end
