🔥 About the Song
Welcome to OUR ROLE IS CLEAR — a toe-tapping, soul-groovin’, country-funk melody from The Christian Cowboy Life. This song is all about faithful purpose, joyful obedience, and walking out God’s calling. Whether you’re dancin’ in your boots or sittin’ quiet with the Word, it’s a reminder to live with light and love in all you do.
🕊️ “What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” – Micah 6:8
💬 Behind the Song
This one came straight from a moment in the Word— reading about servanthood and shining bright in a dark world. The melody hit my heart like a sunrise on the range. It’s got a little grit, a whole lotta grace, and the kind of down-home joy only God can stir up in a cowboy’s heart.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
Let this truth ride with you: joy, obedience, and service are the saddle straps of a life led by Christ. Ride bold, ride bright.
