The Master's Call - Marty Robbins[00:00:02]
When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire [00:00:05]
A youth within my teens but full of challenge and desire [00:00:10]
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad [00:00:14]
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad [00:00:19]
I fell in with an outlaw band their names were known quite well [00:00:24]
How many times we robbed and plundered I could never tell [00:00:28]
This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall [00:00:33]
I learned that much and more the night I heard my master call [00:00:38]
One night we rustled cattle a thousand head or so [00:00:43]
And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico [00:00:48]
But a norhtern started blowin' and lightnin' flashed about [00:00:52]
I thought someone was calling me I thought I heard a shout [00:00:57]
Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me [00:01:03]
And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree [00:01:08]
And this time I knew a heard a voice a voice so sweet and strange [00:01:13]
A voice that came from everywhere a voice that called my name [00:01:17]
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done [00:01:23]
I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run [00:01:28]
The cattle they stampeded were running all around [00:01:33]
My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground [00:01:38]
I felt the end was nearing that death would be the price [00:01:42]
When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ [00:01:47]
And I cried "Oh Lord forgive me Don't let it happen now [00:01:52]
I want to live for You alone oh God these I vow "words[00:01:57]
My wicked past unfolded I thought of wasted years [00:02:03]
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers [00:02:07]
And the others rushed on by me and I was left to live[00:02:12]
The Master had a reason life is His to take and give [00:02:17]
A miracle performed that night I wasn't ment to die[00:02:22]
The dead ones formed a barricade least 6 or 7 high[00:02:26]
Right behind it there was I afraid but safe and sound[00:02:31]
I cried and begged for mercy kneeling there upon the ground[00:02:36]
A pardon I was granted my sinful soul set free [00:02:41]
No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea [00:02:46]
Forgiven by the love of God a love that will remain [00:02:50]
I gave my life and soul the night the Saviour called my name[00:02:55]
