She Named The Pony Jesus

Easter comes but once a year

Chocolate eggs and bunny ears

will celebrate the murder of our Lord

Little girls love horsies

but we are very poor, see

so promises were all we could afford

Off I had been laid

So I knelt down and prayed

Can I have a pony Jesus?

Your humble servent begs

You see my little girl breathes through a tube

and has a wheelchair for her legs

I'm not askin' you to fix her spine

or uncollapse her lung

but I know she'd thank you for that pony

if she had a working tongue

It wasn't miracles I was looking for

when I saw that open stable door

unattended at the Mid-State County Fair

I knew I had to take it slow

and a chicken playing Tic-Tac-Toe

was the diversion I needed

to get him right out of there

So then off I took

But I was no crook

(you know why?)

For I had a pony, Jesus, it was so much more than luck

Your guiding hand dragged him past the guard

and forced him in my truck

And I know that horse won't stop her tremors

or reattach her nose

But I know she'd hop right on that pony{line 31}if she could move her shriveled toes

I saw her waiting in the driveway

hooked up to her machines

and the happiness in her good eye

as all the thanks I'd need (I'm so great)

And as we approached he leapt to greet her

He couldn't hold all that love in

That Divine Equine just kicked and beat her

to stomp out all that sin

And a clap of thunder sent him running

as Heaven's rain began to fall

and he dragged her metal chariot

but she didn't quite clear the wall

Then he galloped off to spread the Gospel

and prove that nothing is imposs'ble

And she named her pony "Jesus"

At least I think that's what she said

'Twas a gurgly sound that trickled out

through a hoof-print in her head

Another sound said, "Save Me"

and that's exactly what was done

That Holy Pony brought redemption

Giddy-up, God's only Son

Couldn't be stony, I got her a pony

Knocked her chair over in the name of Jehovah

Clippity cloppity, he'll never stoppedy

(Dominus te cum, Equu Sanctu)
