(Repeat  Chorus 1 three or four times, have fun with it.)

The parson sat in a pew,

surrounded by the deacons.

As the meeting drew

to and end, one of the sons

of the local merchant barged in.

“Doc, momma sent me to find you.

Jim is terribly sick, Ma's taken

him to your house, and they need you.

The doctor, who had long been a deacon

in this little church, rushed to his house.

The Parson raced after the medical man.

Hoping he could, her fears douse,

he prayed with the boys' Ma.

Her husband soon rushed in

The fear on his face was raw

as he spoke to the medical man.

There was only one medicine

that could save the boy

but Doc had none in his possession.

Hoping, a rider to deploy,

he sent telegraphs to every doctor

within a hundred miles. Only one

had any of the drug he could offer.

Time was the enemy, they needed a fast stallion.

Monday morning, the widow Blies

entered the livery stable.

With a tear in her eyes.

She handed the young man

her dead son's Bible.

“Last night, to sleep I could not go.

My son died a little over a year ago,

I don't have much to remember him by

but as a brand new Christian,

he'd want you to have your own Bible.

I think he'd want you to have the one

he carried with him everyday.”

The Cowboy did not know what to say.

He thanked her and for him she did pray.

After she left, he couldn't help but think

about how great a sacrifice this must be

for this woman whom he barely knew.

She reminded him of his own mother

You could see God's love in her very eyes.
