    I'd been drinkin in a bar room
    On a Friday night that was slow
    I'd decide to order one more round
    before it was time to go

    then an angel walked up in denim
    with a devil's smile
    Said," I won't buy you another.
    but let's go dance for a while.
    Thing are never quite as bad
    as we make them seem.
    Just grab onto your Faith
    and hold on to your dreams"

    {chorus}
    Stand up
    Have a little Faith
    Kneel down
    Pray for saving grace
    let go and give it all to Him

    You know I really have had a good time
    Can I pick you up Sunday mornin'
    For Cowboy Church at nine.

    You know on Sunday mornin
    I wanted to stay in bed
    I thought about just hiding away
    pullin the covers back over my head.
    Well he must have known I was nervous
    Cuz he put his hand on mine,
    As we traveled down that old dirt road
    he said. "everything will be just fine

    we just
    Stand up
    Have a little Faith
    Kneel down
    Pray for saving grace
    let go and give it all to Him

    You know it's just a bunch of friends of mine
    Who get together Sunday mornin's
    For Cowboy Church at nine

    [bridge]
    As we pulled up to an old camp house
    I couldn't believe my eyes
    There were over fifteen trucks,
    and as we went inside
    He said. "each of us tells a story
    how God's worked in our life
    By the time we read the gospel
    there's rarely a dry eye
    Our service is really simple
    we let the feelings be our guide

    as we
    Stand up
    Have a little Faith
    Kneel down
    Pray for His saving grace
    let go and give it all to Him

    Don't feel you have to witness this time
    There's no pressure Sunday mornin's
    at Cowboy Church at nine.

    What I heard there that morning
    brought God back in my life
    I married my cowboy angel
    And now I gladly share His light

    and I
    Stand up
    Have a little Faith
    Kneel down
    Pray for His saving grace
    let go and Give it all to Him.

    Now we take the kids out Sunday morning
    For Cowboy Church at nine.

      Being a native New Yorker and living in the south (Alabama) for three years now I can completely see this story play out my minds eye. I enjoyed it and could even hear a little melody playing a tune as I read the chorus. This poem definitely captured the "Cowboy Church" mentality that I've seen so much of in AL.

      Wow, I REALLY like this.

    A really good song must be catchy (musically) and have a hook riff (musically) and it don't matter so much about the lyrics, to most people...but there are some of us who are actually interested in hearing the words.

    This tells an uplifting story with a constant theme, and does it very well. Definitely the best lyrics I've read this year.

    Totally excellent Jan, be proud

    be happy

      Hey, this was pretty neat. I had the ol' "twwwannnnng" going on as I read it. Sounds like a mighty groovy lil church. Such a nice thing to read on a peaceful afternoon.

    Thanks for sharing!

      i really liked this poem-so much so i forgot my capitalization oh well. the one part i didn't think fit was "don't feel you have to witness" through "share his light". i really want to help, but i'm having a hard time matching your style. that's what makes it good, actually- the style.

      A great message and story-telling style in song. You kept the reader interested with the tale and then gave a solid witness to boot.

    Thanks for sharing this.

      I really have no idea how this would sound like, but I think it'd be allright.
    It's a happy and promising story.

    By the way, you forgot the quotation mark somewhere in this bit
    "each of us tells a story
    how God's worked in our life
    By the time we read the gospel...

    nice work,
    DZ
