 A Loyal Dog
and An Old Sweet Hymn
Dear God, Precious Lord, The Great I
Am,
This is your
humble servant, Cheyenne.
You
know I love You and my owner dearly,
But
lately, Sir, I have grown very weary.
But
still, I accept this mission of mine.
And
I know that since the very dawn of time,
At
Your great and awesome bended knee,
Dogs
have learned their sacred destiny.
And
I know in Your great, mighty plan
We
were to be a mirror for man:
As
we followed them; to You, they were to do the same.
And
accordingly, Adam gave to us our honored name.
But
somewhere in the course of history,
To
man, our name became a mystery.
Humans
forgot dogs were created to teach
How
to You they should approach and reach:
With
love complete and obedience blind,
With
a humble stance and an ever loyal heart.
But,
alas, man forgot our roles in time,
And
made it harder for us to do our part.
Just
yesterday, while my master brushed my hair,
I
heard "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" in the air.
I knew
the plan: A Loyal Dog and An Old Sweet Hymn!
I knew
you had pitched in to help me try to teach her again.
When she
arose, to my little feet I sprang.
I
stayed at her heels even while she sang.
I
followed her here and I followed her there.
I
promise, I followed her everywhere.
I
followed like a shadow upstairs and down.
All
day long, I followed her round and round.
Finally
when she sat, at her feet I thought I might nap.
But
within a few minutes, back to her feet she did snap.
And
I again followed ever close behind
From
room to room for something she could not find.
Lord,
I don't know if she will ever see
This
is the way she should follow Thee.
So,
Sir, please, if she doesn't get it real soon,
Would
You kindly consider changing the tune--
Maybe
to "Just As I Am"?
Your
faithful servant, Cheyenne.
