The Lantern On The Wagon

I was out on night guard when the storm came rollin in The lead steer got up to his feet and raced into the wind The air was filled with lightning and 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 them 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 when your lost and all alone As I wondered thru the darkness what a warm and welcome sight The lantern on the wagon led me safely thru the night Your life has no direction when you think you've lost your way I had a friend who helped me, all I had to do was pray He's the one whos 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 will lead thru the storm A beacon shining brightly when your lost and all alone As you wonder thru 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
