Verse 1 When He painted up the sunrise on a West Texas sky, Hung the stars in the darkness and taught eagles to fly, He looked down at the cowgirls and the dreamers out there, And said, “They’re gonna need somethin’ that’ll carry their cares.” So He carved out a spirit that was fearless and free, Put thunder in its heartbeat and the wind in its feet, Gave it eyes full of kindness and a soul wild as fire, A friend for the broken and the ones who never tire. Chorus That’s why God made horses, to heal a heart that’s torn, To carry us through valleys and greet each brand-new morn. For every tear and struggle, every mountain left to climb, He gave us four strong legs and a little piece of divine. When the world gets heavy and your faith feels worn, You remember why God made horses. Verse 2 For the little girl dreamin’ with a ribbon in her hair, For the cowboy chasing sunsets and a prayer whispered there, For the reiner in the arena sliding deep into the dirt, And the ones who find their freedom through the pain and through the hurt. Every nicker in the morning, every hoofbeat on the ground, Is a reminder Heaven’s mercy can still be found. They don’t judge your mistakes or the roads you’ve been through, They just meet you where you are and carry you through. Chorus That’s why God made horses, to heal a heart that’s torn, To carry us through valleys and greet each brand-new morn. For every tear and struggle, every mountain left to climb, He gave us four strong legs and a little piece of divine. When the world gets heavy and your faith feels worn, You remember why God made horses. Bridge Maybe angels needed wings, Maybe cowgirls needed more, So He wrapped a little heaven In a mane and saddle worn. And every ride reminds us What we’re really living for. Final Chorus That’s why God made horses, for the strong and the weak, For the words we cannot say and the peace we cannot speak. For the lonely and the hopeful, for the lost and reborn, A gift straight from Heaven on the day that they were born. When the dust settles softly and the daylight is gone, You thank the Lord above… For the day He made horses.p
