(Verse 1)
There's a (G)book (D) in my (G)saddle
Written (C)words to see me (G)through
About a (C)man that was a (G)savior (Em)
(G)Died and (C)raised a-(Bm)gain for (D)me and (G)you
(Chorus)
It's written, He'll (C)come down ridin' on a big white (G)stallion
With a band of (C)angels out on His (G)trail
He ain't (C)lookin' for no desper-(G)ado, (Em)no
Just some (G)good cow-(G/B)boys to (Am)save from a (D)burnin' (G)Hell
(Verse 2)
I be-(G)lieve (D) what Jesus (G)told me
That if you (C)ask, you shall re-(G)ceive
And I wanna (C)ride with that band of (G)angels, yes, I do (Em)
When the (G)good Lord (C)says it's (Bm)time for (D)me to (G)leave
(Chorus)
It's written, He'll (C)come down ridin' on a big white (G)stallion
With a band of (C)angels out on His (D)trail
He ain't (C)lookin' for no desper-(G)ado, (Em)no
Just some (G)good cow-(C)boys to (G/B)save from a (D)burnin' (G)Hell

(Verse 3)
I don't (G)worry (D) 'bout what's be-(G)hind me
He says the (C)past is in the (G)past
He won't (C)give me what I can't (G)handle, (Em)no
'Cause He (G)told me (C)that, one (G/B)day, He's (D)comin' (G)back
(Out-Chorus)
It's written, He'll (C)come down ridin' on a big white (G)stallion
