The Lantern on the Wagon
Red Steagall
I was out on night guard when the storm come rollin’ in
The lead steer got up to his feet and raced into the wind
The air was filled with lightning as it jumped from horn to horn
My night horse took the challenge and we rode into the storm
I tried to turn the leaders but they scattered like the wind
I held onto a hundred head and turned ‘em back again
I rode with no direction as I pushed them thru the night
Then way off in the distance was a tiny point of light
Yes, the lantern on the wagon led me safely thru the storm
A beacon shining brightly, I was lost and all alone
As I wandered in the darkness, was a warm and welcome sight
The lantern on the wagon led me safely thru the night
If your life has no direction and you think you’ve lost your way
I have a friend who’ll help you, all you have to do is pray
It’s the one who’s love is constant, you don’t have to ride alone
All you need to do is ask Him and He’ll lead you safely home
Like the lantern on the wagon, He’ll lead you safely thru the storm
A beacon shining brightly when you’re lost and all alone
If you’re wandering in the darkness, He’s a warm and friendly sight
His light of love will lead you safely thru the darkest night
Yes, His light of love will lead you safely thru the darkest night
Good one!
