The Master's Call - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

When I was but a young man[00:00:05]

I was wild and full of fire[00:00:07]

A youth within my teens[00:00:10]

But full of challenge and desire[00:00:11]

I ran away from home[00:00:14]

And left my mother and my dad[00:00:16]

I know it grieved them[00:00:19]

So to think their only boy was bad[00:00:20]

I fell in with an outlaw band[00:00:24]

Their names were known quite well[00:00:26]

How many times we robbed[00:00:28]

And plundered I could never tell[00:00:30]

This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall[00:00:33]

I learned that much and more the night[00:00:38]

I heard my master call[00:00:40]

One night we rustled cattle[00:00:43]

A thousand head or so[00:00:45]

And started them out on the trail[00:00:47]

That leads to mexico[00:00:50]

But a norhtern started blowin'[00:00:52]

And lightnin' flashed about[00:00:54]

I thought someone was calling me[00:00:57]

I thought I heard a shout[00:00:59]

Then at that moment lightning[00:01:03]

Struck not twenty yards from me[00:01:05]

And left there was a giant cross[00:01:08]

Where once there was a tree[00:01:10]

And this time I knew a heard a voice[00:01:12]

A voice so sweet and strange[00:01:15]

A voice that came from everywhere[00:01:17]

A voice that called my name[00:01:20]

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[00:01:33]

Were running all around[00:01:35]

My pony ran but stumbled[00:01:37]

And it threw me to the ground[00:01:40]

I felt the end was nearing[00:01:42]

That death would be the price[00:01:45]

When a mighty bolt of lightning[00:01:47]

Showed the face of jesus christ[00:01:49]

And I cried oh lord forgive me[00:01:52]

Don't let it happen now[00:01:54]

I want to live for you alone[00:01:56]

Oh god these I vow words[00:01:59]

My wicked past unfolded[00:02:03]

I thought of wasted years[00:02:05]

When another bolt of lightning[00:02:07]

Killed a hundred head of steers[00:02:09]

And the others rushed on by me[00:02:12]

And I was left to live[00:02:15]

The master had a reason[00:02:17]

Life is his to take and give[00:02:19]

A miracle performed that night[00:02:22]

I wasn't ment to die[00:02:24]

The dead ones formed[00:02:26]

A barricade least 6 or 7 high[00:02:28]

Right behind it there was I[00:02:31]

Afraid but safe and sound[00:02:34]

I cried and begged for mercy kneeling[00:02:36]

There upon the ground[00:02:38]

A pardon I was granted[00:02:41]

My sinful soul set free[00:02:43]

No more to fear the angry waves upon[00:02:45]

Life's stormy sea[00:02:48]

Forgiven by the love of god[00:02:50]

A love that will remain[00:02:53]

I gave my life and soul the night[00:02:55]

The saviour called my name[00:02:58]
