A Cowboys Prayer by Roy Rogers

The Cowboy’s Prayer

by Roy Rogers

Oh Lord, I reckon I’m not much by myself.

I fail to do a lot of things I ought to do.

But Lord, when trails are steep and passes high,

Help me to ride it straight the whole way through.

And when in the falling dusk I get the final call,

I do not care how many flowers they send—

Above all else the happiest trail would be

For You to say to me, “Let’s ride, My friend.”

Amen
