A Man's Special Horse

Back before I was born,
It was my dad 
just him and his horse.

Every Sunday morning,
He would sing
Amazing grace
Under an oak tree.
 
His horse would stand near by
And stare back into his eyes.
Mom said it was very touching to witness
The bond they shared 
you wouldn't want to miss it

On a cool, beautiful evening. 
He saddled up, off to leave.
Went far beyond the sky you could see.
In the dangerous place you shouldn't be.
All of a sudden a noise interuppted.
They were attacked by a bear.
 Almost killed my dad.
All he remembered seeing,
was his horse in between them.
She somehow scared the bear away
She was hurt too, so dad began to pray.


He Asked God not to take her away from here.
She saved my life, I know you are aware.
I'll stop drinking,I promise you lord
I'll do anything just please
don't take my horse.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound.
Hold on to my voice, I'll get us both out.
I once was lost but now I'm found.
Soon enough help arrived
 they made it somehow.
To  save a wretch like me.
I'm nobody just a dirty cowboy.
My horse on the other hand, 
Is special to me and
 if she wasnt brave
 I would be dead in a grave.

She's my hero, my best friend
I will take care of her till the end.
Thankyou lord in jesus name
You let my horse Amazing Grace stay. 
Amen
