God Was Riding Shotgun

Riding down a country road

on a dark and lonely night,

he just had to go

so he wouldn't fight with his wife.

The fog was so thick he couldn't see.

It almost costed him his life...



But God was riding shotgun

watching over him that night.

When the semi truck hit him

all he saw was light.

Cause god was riding shotgun that night.



Three o'clock in the morning

she knew there was something wrong.

Then the police came with a warning

"Your husband wrecked...he might not live long."

She cried all the way there

praying that he wouldn't be gone.



And God was riding shotgun

with her all the way.

Even as she wondered

just how much he'd take.

Still all she could do was pray...

as God was riding shotgun today



When they saw each other again

after that long frightening night

she cried and ran to him,

and they held each other tight...



I'm glad God was riding shotgun

because no one died that night.

It's nice to know when we're with him

everything's alright

when God is riding shotgun...tonight.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I worte this while at work the other night, thinking about how I am glad God is always there "riding shotgun" with Me...even when I push him away, he just comes right back, knocking on my door til I answer...one of these days he won't be there, and he'll come for his people like a thief in the night...I hope Im ready when he comes...
