[F] [C] [F] [Em]
[G] [C]
[B] [C] Oh Lord, I've never lived where churches [G] grow.
I love [C] creation better as it stood.
[G]
You know the day you finished it so long [C] ago and looked upon your work and called it good.
And I know a lot of people find you in the light that's sifted down through tinted [F] window
panes and yet I seem to feel you [C] nearer tonight in [G] this dim quiet moonlight on the plains.
[C] I thank you Lord that I am not a prisoner of the clock, whistle, [G] or bell.
My time is [C] mine to roam the [G] range and work this land I love so well.
Make [C] my smile as big and open as the plains and let me be as honest as this horse between my knees.
And clean as the wind that blows behind the reins and [F] free as the hawk that circles in the breeze.
[C] And forgive me Lord [G] if sometimes I [C] forget to thank you for helping me through this life.
You know sometimes I keep my feelings hid but Lord [G] you [D] know me better [C] than my mother did.
[G] So just keep an eye on all that's done and said and write me sometimes when [C] I turn aside
and guide me on that long dim trail ahead that stretches upward to the great divide.
You know Lord [F] I've seen you in the sunshine and I've felt you in the rain [C] and I've praised
you when my [G] belly was full and I guess [C] sometimes I gave you the blame when things go wrong
but you know I didn't mean it.
It's just this cowboy's way.
[G] Well I got a [C] lot of times but [G] I got lost but I never went astray.
[C]
Now you know some folks they need more than other folks and I'm just a simple man and
I [F] see you Lord in everything that I touch with these two hands.
[C] So please [G] accept this little prayer I offer [C] you tonight and forgive me [Em] if I've done [Am] you
wrong [C] and you'll start my day off right Lord.
[G] You know I [C] never lived where churches grow [G] and I just love creation better as it stood.
[C] Why the day you finished it so long ago and you looked upon your work and called it good.
And I know a lot of people find you in [F] the light that's shifted down through tinted window
panes and yet [Em] I seem to feel you so here tonight in this dim [C] quiet moonlight on the plains.
Amen Lord.
