Song: "What You'll Have to Outrun"

Last week a very close friend of mine, Cowboy_Christian, posted a song called "What You'll Have to Outrun."

The song came from an idea I had, and gave to him. I'm not a songwriter, but I get one line here and there and let Cowboy make it into a song. This has happened a few times during the last year, and this is one of the better ones.

The inspiration came out of a conversation he and I were having regarding the similarities between God's nature and Biblical manhood, as we read through Stu Weber's Tender Warrior. That same conversation turned into one about how the God of the Bible and the man of God both pursue their bride, and what that looks like.

Of course, given the nature of two cowboys, talking about Jesus and love, a song was a must.

To give you a little more background about us, Cowboy and I work together during the summers, and we go to school together during the year, and my girlfriend works with his wife, so yeah- we see each other a good bit.

I hope you guys enjoy the song! Ciao!
