Let This Cowboy Ride

Today was one of the most wonderful days of my life I love the Lord, love my kids and God I love my wife In the story of my today man it sure is looking bright For years now I’ve been on a path headed to the light The path is not too hard to follow; it’s one step at a time And you know me; I map the way writing my little rhymes You know, I can truly feel a spirit growing inside of me By the Blood of the Lamb, my God I am feeling free Today was so beautiful I had to break down and cry All our children were at home with my wife and I The time has finally come in life that I am truly able to see There is a pretty good man in the mirror, looking back at me I have overcome so much to be sitting here where I’m at By the grace of the good Lord above, I’m truly living fat By living fat I don’t mean that I have acquired a lot of wealth I simply mean that I’ve finally pulled all my covers off the shelf With the covers all pulled off the shelf and nothing left to hide All I can say,” load the bull into the chute and let this cowboy ride” After several days of delayed flights I picked our son up on the 23rd. God truly blessed our family this year, brothers met sisters, aunts and uncles met nephews and my wife and I took us about a thousand pictures of it all. I never dreamed life could be like this and you guys know what, your encouragement, love & support you have given to me these last two years have helped make this all possible and for that I thank you, I do hope your Christmas was as blessed as ours was, God Bless
