A Cowboy's Prayer
 "O Lord I've never lived where the churches grow:
I've loved creation better as is stood
That day you finished it so long ago.
And looked upon your work and called it good.

Just let me live my life as I've begun!
And give me work that's open to the sky;
Make me a partner to the wind and sun
And I won't ask a life thats soft and high

Make me as big and open as the plains
As honest as the horse between my knees;
Clean as the winds that blow behind the rains;
Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze.

Just keep an eye on all that's done and said;
Just write me sometime when I turn aside
And guide me on the long, dim trail ahead;
That stretches upward towards the Great Divide"
