Lisa Bevill
Horses are running, free in the field
They are restless, but waiting to yield
To the groom standing by, and they wait for His sign
But He lingers for one more soul
And they wait on...
The bride is aching to look in His eyes
Her hearts been waiting since He said goodbye
And He sings to her soul
And His words won't let her go
Stay true to me, I won't be long
She wants to ride she wants to go
And feel the rush of your wind through her soul
Come Jesus come sound your drums
Split the sky, rescue Your bride
Oh Jesus, ride, ride, ride, ride
I see that vision it's locked in my mind
I too am restless and ready to fly
But have I done my part have I shared my heart
About the One who waits for me
And He waits on, yes He waits on
I want to ride I want to go
And feel the rush of the wind through my soul
Come Jesus come, split the sky
And take your bride to paradise
I want to ride I want to go
And see Your mysteries unfold
Come Jesus come, sound Your drums
Open the sky to paradise
Oh Jesus, Ride... ride... ride
Ride... please ride
I wanna see You
Come for me
Take me and ride
Please ride
Please ride
The song "Ride" by Lisa Bevill is a beautiful ballad that speaks about the longing for the return of Jesus Christ. The lyrics are full of imagery of horses racing and a bride waiting for her groom. The first verse talks about horses running freely in a field, but waiting to yield to the groom when he gives the sign. However, the groom lingers for one more soul, and the horses wait on. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for Christ waiting for his followers to come to him, to surrender themselves completely.
The second verse speaks of the bride's eagerness to meet her groom and look into his eyes. She has been waiting for him since he said goodbye, and he sings to her soul, asking her to stay true to him, promising that he won't be long. The chorus is a plea for Jesus to come, split the sky, and take his bride to paradise. The singer expresses her desire to ride and feel the rush of the wind through her soul.
The final verse speaks of the singer's own restlessness and eagerness to fly. She questions whether she has done her part and shared her heart about the one who waits for her. She wants to ride, go and see the mysteries of God unfold, and be taken to paradise with her savior.
Overall, the song “Ride” is a powerful and emotional plea for the return of Christ and for believers to be ready for his coming.

This is my favourite song of all time. We played this at my mother's funeral, who received a vision from the Lord just before her 'homegoing' of ehr special horse waitng for her...My deepest thanks to Lisa Bevill for this song!
@LisaBevill-ProSinger1
Floatingaxe..thanks for your post as well. You're the 5th person that i've heard from that have said this song has been played at a funeral and that your mom saw a vision of her horse. Later today, is the funeral of a friend who went to be with the Lord last week, I worked with him on many vocal print music projects, and during his last days, he too saw a white horse.. which I am anxious to see how majestic and magical it will all be when we are called up to see Jesus, face to face.. GLORY!!
@LisaBevill-ProSinger1
WOW Thank you for making this video. This is a special song to me and I'll never forget the vision that the Lord gave. It was a really special time in my life. Thank you all for your sweet words and comments, they mean so much to me. I was hoping that everyone would capture the vision that I had and would understand the meaning behind the song when I wrote the words... all from God. I'm only a transcriber of what God tells me to write, I can take no credit. All Glory to GOD!
