God's Wild Bunch

​God rides with us wild bunch, this fact I’ve been told;
wild crazy people of which He can’t get hold.
He watches patiently and lets our days play out.

He gave us free will, a dangerous pill, but that’s what it’s all about.
 
Wilder than a stormy night, more brazen than an angry sea,

God rides with a wild bunch, the likes of you and me.

We’re wild in anticipation of what we believe we can do.
We’re wild in knowing that living in a box ain’t right for me and you.
Yup we’re kind of crazy and don’t always follow the rules.
Directing our what, when, where, and how makes us wicked blue.
Nope, we don’t step nicely into line as we are told.
We prefer instead, to live our lives as they unfold.
 
I know that God loves us, people like you and me.
We’re like the prodigal son, yes, on this we can agree.
He lets us stray in hopes that back to Him we’ll find our way.
We’ve had one false start after another, day after fruitless day.
He lets us play and stays away, knowing that over us He is Sovereign.
He lets us amble free, ‘cuz the gift he gave was never to hone us in.
 
We are wilder than the average being, a deeper void it seems, in us.

Maybe this is where we fail ourselves, searching high and low,
we fill ourselves with empty things, we find we just can’t trust.
We set off again to wander, from our mistakes we feel the blow.
It’s how we come to realize we should have stayed by You.
All His life, Jesus was thought a rebel, this we’re told is true.
He made baskets overflow with fish, when he was given only two.

He preached words that many do not want to hear.
He preached love, oh God above, not prejudice, hate or fear.
 
God rides with us wild bunch, this fact I’ve been told;
wild crazy people of which He can’t get hold.
He watches patiently and lets our days play out.

He gave us free will, a dangerous pill, but that’s what it’s all about.
So come ride with us, come ride with us, hard and fast.
It’s not the years, that bring the tears, it’s just the years won’t last.
