Frontier Themes:
A Cowgirl’s Prayer
Thank you Lord
for helping me through
the night,
Thank you for helping me
see the Light.
Thank you for giving to me
this day,
Thank you for teaching me
to pray.
Thank you for keeping safe
all that I hold dear,
Thank you for guarding me
from fear.
Thank you for blessings
great and small,
Thank you, Lord,
for one and all
I call my own
and even for those
I must disown,
I thank Thee
for those lessons
in forgiveness,
I thank Thee
for the trespasses
that I witness,
for they keep me
humble,
and they keep me
strong;
they tell me
bitterness
is the human heart
gone wrong;
they tell me
how hatred can tear
asunder
every thing that love
has built with wonder.
And so Dear Lord,
I thank thee
for the truth.
And with that truth
I gird my loins
and test my spirit
And enjoin
My heart from rancor
or despair
I go forth
freed from fear
into a world
far from perfect
but also far from
dereliction
of your love.
I thank Thee, Lord
for Thy trust.
With that trust
I will abide
and work tirelessly
within
that miracle
called life.
