Ride on, Daddy

[Faithbuilders]

Ride on, Daddy

 

Daddy has to move the cattle up west

looking for water, and what spot is the best.

Momma said, daddy will be home soon

With our love, and prayers, how can he loose

All at once the thunder crashed, and there was banging on the door

outside stood the Sharif, as the rain did pour.

We've Got serious trouble up on the range

There's something that's ever so strange

There are 5 riders with the devil in there eyes

every man who meets them, quickly dies

That night felt forever before the break of day

Momma and the children fell to there knees and prayed

 

God keep daddy safe as on the range he rides

Send down your protection, down from the skies,

If he'd have to ride a black tornado

Or the ground opened up from Canada to Mexico

God we know You will bring daddy back soon

And we will wait, underneath the Friday moon

 

The sky in the horizon turned green

Death was in the air, it would seem

Momma rubbed her hands, as fear crept in

A little voice behind her said, daddy will be home, when?

Momma turned around, and burst into tears

We need to pray away all our fears

 

God keep daddy safe as on the range he rides

Send down your protection, down from the skies

For nothing could restrain

Not even a hurricane

God we know You'll bring daddy back soon

And we'll wait for him underneath the Saturday moon

 

The sun is setting, the horizon is red

Supper is done, the children are in bed

Momma's trusting God, to faith she would heed

Nothing could stop him, not even a wild stampede

 

God kept daddy safe as on the range he rides

thank you for Your protection sent down from the sky's

Daddy followed our love home, with God on his side

through all the dangers he rode, with God on his mind

 

Thank You Lord, for bringing daddy home soon

and we will praise You underneath the Sunday moon

God is on the throne.

Pray without ceasing.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Psalms 9;1 I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

Nice poem.
