"The Book" lyrics

"The Book"

There's a book in my saddle
Written words to see me through
About a man who was a savior
Died and raised again for me and you

It's written, "He'll come down riding on a big white stallion"
With a band of angels hot on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burning Hell

I believe what Jesus told me
That if you ask, you shall receive
And I wanna ride with that band of angels. Yes, I do
When the good Lord says it's time for me to leave

It's written, "He'll come down riding on a big white stallion"
With a band of angels hot on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burning hell

I don't worry 'bout what's behind me
He says the past is in the past
He won't give me what I can't handle. No
'Cause He told me that one day He's coming back

It's written, "He'll come down riding on a big white stallion"
With a band of angels hot on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burning Hell
Just some cowboys to save from a burning Hell
