SNIPPET

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. Along with sunshine, there's got to be a little rain sometime. Lynn Anderson

SCRIPTURE

I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;

    I refused my heart no pleasure.

My heart took delight in all my labor,

    and this was the reward for all my toil.

Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done

    and what I had toiled to achieve,

everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;

    nothing was gained under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:10,11

SONG

SNIPPET

Life’s hard. It’s even harder when you’re stupid. – John Wayne

SCRIPTURE

“It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because 

his compassions  fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy 

faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will 

I hope in him.  Lamentations 3:22-24 KJV

Well God bless Texas

And Deakon Shackleford

He read the bible seven times

And he believed every word

That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all

He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw

Singin'

"Amazing Grace

How sweet the sound"

That saved a wrech like me

He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat

He'd take me fishin' after church 

And taught me things I needed to know

No, Deakon didn't have a family

Lord knows he wished he did

He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid

Chorus:

And today he joined up with Jesus

Wearing shiny pearl snaps

We sang a few gospel hymns 

And then the soldier played taps

I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold

Showin' off his brand spanking new wings

And his barbed wire halo

He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through

She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo

He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth

He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth

He lost the will to love

He lost the will to live

Until he met a man who taught him to forgive

Yeah life took him to hell and back

To hell and back a time or two

But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue

Singin'

"I once was lost

But now I'm found

Was blind

But now I see"

(Chorus)

Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry

And though I told him that I wouldn't I couldn't help but lie

Cause today he joined up with Jesus

Wearing shiny pearl snaps

We sang a few gospel hymns

And then the soldier played taps

I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold

As sure as the old church bell still rings

He always said he had country in his soul

He's showing off his brand spanking new wings

And his barbed wire halo

Sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home

Swing low sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home

Sentence Prayer

May your stomach never grumble. May your heart never ache. May your horse never stumble. May your cinch never break.
