by Paul Mayes Jamar

Sometimes, it feels like,
You're a lone cowboy on a hill,
Trying to call without a microphone,
Out to a lost world, be still!

See the presence of God there,
In the sky, in nature, by and by,
Or, over here, He is everywhere,
Just stop a minute before you die.

For then it will be too late,
To recognize God among us,
Leaving you to a certain fate,
In hell for not knowing Him.

The lone crier is out there today,
Trying to be witness to a single soul,
To save them from hell someday,
Just one at a time is his goal.
Yet some slam their door shut,
Right in the face of their last chance,
Raise hell and cuss like a total nut,
To who cares, and is making a stance.

So the Lone Cowboy Crier rides on,

To the next soul needing salvation,
Bruised but determined for God’s Son,
To tell the Gospel throughout this nation.
