On the Trail
By Brother Brad Curtis of Mountain Top Cowboy Church
SKY RIDER The boy’s called him Sky His head was in the clouds Kind`a kept to himself Even while in big crowds
The boys carried him in Laid Sky on his bed roll Years of bustin` broncs Had finally took their toll
Now I ani’t no saint But I learned a thing or two The sky can be cloudy But it’s mostly clear and blue
Yep my heads in the clouds But I have the rock under my feet That’s why I ride the bad ones And always keep my seat
Now Sky was a twister Here on the Broken Sin The harder them broncs bucked The bigger ol` Sky would grin
But Sky he just grinned Said boys I’m alright Cause I know the Big Boss And his power and might
Yep boys I always look up That’s why y’all call me Sky I know the owner of the Broken Sin He’s a heck`of`a guy
Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth
Then one day it happened In the early spring Sky came crashing down While breakin` a fresh string
When I came to this spread We call the Broken Sin I told the Big Boss Of the places I had been
I’ll be back on my feet Tomorrow’s a new day So I’ll just lay here And take this time to pray
While snappin` out a broomtail She seemed to lose her feet Hooves toward the sun Sky never lost his seat
He Said I was forgiven And showed me love Told me to look to Him And to think on things above
One last thing fellers That bronc that fell on me I’ll be ridin` her by summer So y’all just let her be

One Last (& most important) thought… Salvation is a gift and a choice......

Jesus died on the cross as the final sacrifice. When He was resurrected on the 3rd day, he defeated Satan for us. All we have to do is believe that He beat death and acknowledge it with our words. If we believe that and accept Him as our personal savior…we are promised eternal life with Him in Heaven. You can’t earn your way into Heaven; you have to believe your way there. So many people think they “aren’t good enough” to get to Heaven… But… Salvation is a GIFT from God and you don’t earn a gift. Gifts are something someone gives to you and for the gift to be yours, you have to accept it. All we have to do is accept that wonderful gift. I know I have…won’t you? But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many. Romans 5:15
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10: 9-10
