Touching Heaven

Horses teach me about God

TOUCHING HEAVEN
October 2, 2008

You bring out what’s
kind in me, what’s patient
and good. When I’m with you,
I’m in the presence of God.
To be in the saddle is to
bow at the throne,
and to ride
is to know the rhythm
of His word. The
sound of His voice is in
each stride
as hoof meets ground
and wind meets ear,
and my spirit touches heaven
when I’m with you.
When I rise in the saddle
I exalt the Lord.
When you breathe on my
arm, or in my ear,
I feel the Holy spirit
and thrill to the glory
of my King.
To know you is to know
His heart,
and when I’m in the
saddle, I'm in His loving
arms for I am never
closer to God than I am
when I’m with you.
