I ain’t much good at prayin’, you may not know me, Lord—

I ain’t much seen in churches where they preach Thy Holy Word,

But you may have observed me out here on the lonely plains,

A’lookin’ after cattle, feelin’ thankful when it rains,

Admirin’ Thy great handiwork, the miracle of grass,

Aware of Thy kind spirit, in the way it comes to pass

That hired men on horseback, and the livestock that we tend

Can look up at the stars at night and know we’ve got a friend.
