ON A RUMBLING STAGECOACH

 

Only two passengers aboard

the rumbling stage coach.

The cowboy, being bored,

struck up a conversation

with the humble parson.

They discussed cattle,

roping and riding, and such.

But somehow, they began

to discuss sin and salvaton.

The parson talked, oh so much,

about the fiery battle

between the flesh and the spirit.

The cowboy, the more he did hear it

was intrigued how Christ died for his sin.

Right there on a rumbling stage coach,

he bowed his head and found grace devine.

Right there on a rumbling stage coach,

he grace, love, joy and peace, he did find.

Right there on a rumbling stage coach,

he bowed his head and found eternal salvation.
