It's a thoughtful time of night, as I stand beside the firelight
And contemplate the vastness of the universe
I see distant galaxies of stars, Oh look! There's Jupiter and Mars!
I gaze awestruck, at heavens so diverse.

To use "Big Bang" nomenclature, did a random act of nature
Create the cosmos I see spiraling in the sky?
Was it just a fluke of fate, like an unlatched cattle gate,
That made the stars that fill this cowgirl's eye?

Or was it by divine design, meant to give us folks down here a sign
That a greater power created all we see?
Not an accidental whim, but a world created just by HIM,
To give purpose to the lives of folks like me?

When you're living on the land, you can see the Maker's hand
In every cow and horse and cowboy on the place,
We're not here by accident, I figure every one of us was sent
To work the herd with the good Lord's tender grace.
