Cowboy Church #36

Hello my friends and welcome back for another service of Cowboy Church. 

Today's musical selection begins with Lorretta Lynn singing a lively version of I'll Fly Away.  This is followed by Lynn Anderson with Wanderer's Prayer. This comes from Lynn's first gospel album, Bridges. Though she had been recording since the 1960's, her first gospel album wouldn't be until 2015. This was also her last album as she would pass away the same year. Lynn would state that the words of this song spoke directly to her and listening to them it is not hard to tell why. Going back a few years next is The Monroe Brothers 1936 recording of We Read of a Place That's Called Heaven (more commonly known as How Beautiful Heaven Must Be. Next comes Johnny Cash with a song he wrote himself called Fourth Man in the Fire. This is one of two songs he wrote that are about a particular story in the book of Daniel (the other being Belshazzar). This version is from his 1978 Christmas TV special. This is followed by The Sons of the Pioneers with their 1941 recording of What Wonderful Joy. The music selection ends with Roy Rogers with The Cowboy's Prayer. This comes from the 1973 album him and Dale Evans made together, In The Sweet By and By.

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Revelation 3:20

Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. Micah 7:18And Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38

We must obey God rather than men. Acts 5:29

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10. Thanks for joining me come back in a couple weeks for my first Cowboy Christmas post. Happy trails to you until we meet again.
