My God Is a Cowboy

My God is a cowboy and even likes to fish
To ride for Him daily is truly my wish

He was born in a barn, rode hard every day
fightin' ole Satan and chasin' down strays

He can calm a stampede, rope a whirlwind, save the herd
and do it all gladly, with only His Word

He can mend fences and heal busted hearts
and can round up even the smallest broken parts

His brand's on the cattle on a thousand hills
He hung on a cross to pay all our bills

He's gone home to build new bunkhouses and stalls
with new feather quilts and gold on the walls

He'll be back for a final roundup riding a white horse
I'm saddled and ready; spurs a jinglin' of course

My God is a cowboy it's certainly true
For Him I rope and ride, now how 'bout you?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
