The Master's Call (Album Version) - Don Edwads[00:00:00]
When I was but a young man I was wild[00:00:20]
And full of fire[00:00:22]
A you'th within my teens but full of challenge and desire[00:00:24]
I ran away from home and left my mother[00:00:28]
And my dad[00:00:31]
I know it grieved them so to[00:00:32]
Think their only boy was bad[00:00:34]
I fell in with an outlaw band[00:00:38]
Their names were known quite well[00:00:40]
How many times we robbed and plundered[00:00:42]
I could never tell[00:00:45]
This kind of sinful livin' well leads only to a fall[00:00:47]
I learned that much and more the night[00:00:51]
I heard my master call[00:00:53]
One night we rustled cattle[00:00:57]
A thousand head or so[00:00:59]
And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico[00:01:01]
But a norther started blowin'[00:01:05]
And lightnin' flashed about[00:01:07]
I thought someone was calling me[00:01:09]
I thought I heard a shout[00:01:12]
Then at that moment lightning struck not[00:01:15]
Twenty yards from me[00:01:17]
And left there was a giant[00:01:19]
'Cross where once there was a tree[00:01:21]
And this time I knew a heard a voice[00:01:24]
A voice so sweet and strange[00:01:26]
A voice that came from everywhere[00:01:28]
A voice that called my name[00:01:30]
So frightened I was thinking[00:01:34]
Of sinful deeds I'd done[00:01:35]
I failed to see a thousand[00:01:38]
Head of cattle start to run[00:01:40]
The cattle they stampeded were running all around[00:01:42]
My pony ran but stumbled and[00:01:46]
It threw me to the ground[00:01:49]
I felt the end was nearing[00:01:52]
That death would be the price[00:01:54]
When a mighty bolt of lightning[00:01:56]
Showed the face of Jesus Christ[00:01:58]
And I cried oh Lord forgive[00:02:01]
Me don't let it happen now[00:02:02]
I want to live for you alone[00:02:05]
Oh God these words I vow[00:02:07]
My wicked life unfolded and I thought of wasted years[00:02:10]
When another bolt of lightning[00:02:15]
Killed a hundred head of steers[00:02:17]
And the others rushed on by me and[00:02:19]
I was left to live[00:02:21]
The master had a reason life was his to take and give[00:02:23]
A miracle performed that night I wasn't meant to die[00:02:29]
The dead ones formed a barricade least 6 or 7 high[00:02:33]
Right behind it there was I afraid but safe and sound[00:02:38]
I cried and begged for mercy[00:02:42]
Kneeling there upon the ground[00:02:44]
A pardon I was granted my sinful soul set free[00:02:46]
No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea[00:02:51]
Forgiven by the love of God a love that will remain[00:02:55]
I gave my life and soul[00:02:59]
The night the savior called my name[00:03:01]
I gave my life and soul[00:03:05]
The night the savior called my name[00:03:08]
