Cowboy Church #11

Hello my friends and welcome back to Cowboy Church. 

We start our musical selection off with Gene Autry preforming the song Cowboy's Heaven on a 1952 episode of his TV show. Gene cowrote this beautiful song himself. Next we have the Sons of the Pioneers 1935 recording of When I Leave This World Behind. This was a Sons original written by the group's own Bob Nolan. Leonard Syle (later to be renamed Roy Rogers) was still a member of the group at this time. Now comes Tennessee Ernie Ford performing the gospel classic Just a Closer Walk With Thee. Next comes Johnny Cash performing Gospel Road. This song was written by Christopher Wren. This song served as the title song for Johnny's feature film Gospel Road: The Story of Jesus (1973, he narrated, co-wrote and produced the film). Next comes the overlooked country music group The Cass County Boys performing Ezekiel Saw the Wheel in the Gene Autry feature film, Barbed Wire (1952). This is followed by George Jones and Patti Page performing the gospel classic Precious Memories. We end our musical selection off with Hank Williams performing When God Dips His Love in Heart on a 1951 episode of the Mother's Best radio show.  

Now for the sixth episode of The Roy Rogers Show. This episode, Badman's Brother original aired February 10, 1952.






Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right. Psalms 106:3Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matthew 6:25- 34

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. Genesis 50:20

Thank you for joining me for this installment of Cowboy Church, see you again next Sunday. Until then Happy Trails until we meet again.
