The Master's Call (Live from Cowtown Version) - Waddie Mitchell[00:00:00]

I was but a young man[00:00:42]

Wild and full of fire[00:00:44]

A youth within my teens full[00:00:46]

Of challenge and desire[00:00:48]

I ran away from home[00:00:50]

And left my mother and my dad[00:00:51]

Grieved them so to think[00:00:54]

Their only boy was bad[00:00:55]

I fell in with an outlaw band [00:00:59]

Their names were known quite well[00:01:01]

How many times we robbed[00:01:02]

And plundered I could never tell[00:01:04]

This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall[00:01:06]

I learned that much and more the night[00:01:10]

I heard my master call[00:01:12]

One night we rustled cattle [00:01:16]

A thousand head or so[00:01:18]

And started them out[00:01:20]

On the trail that leads to Mexico[00:01:21]

But a norther started blowin'[00:01:24]

And lightnin' flashed about[00:01:26]

I thought someone was calling me[00:01:28]

And I thought I heard a shout[00:01:30]

Then at that moment lightning[00:01:33]

Struck not twenty yards from me[00:01:35]

Left there was a giant cross[00:01:37]

Where once there was a tree[00:01:39]

This time I knew a heard a voice [00:01:41]

A voice so sweet and strange[00:01:43]

A voice that came from everywhere [00:01:45]

A voice that called my name[00:01:47]

So frightened I was thinking[00:01:51]

Of sinful deeds I'd done[00:01:53]

I failed to see a thousand head[00:01:55]

Of cattle start to run[00:01:57]

The cattle they stampeded [00:01:59]

Were running all around[00:02:00]

My pony ran but stumbled[00:02:03]

And it threw me to the ground[00:02:04]

I felt the end was nearing [00:02:09]

That death would be the price[00:02:11]

When a mighty bolt of lightning[00:02:13]

Showed the face of Jesus Christ[00:02:14]

And I cried "Oh Lord forgive me [00:02:17]

Don't let it happen now[00:02:19]

I want to live for You alone [00:02:21]

Oh God these words I vow"[00:02:23]

My wicked past unfolded [00:02:26]

I thought of wasted years[00:02:27]

When another bolt of lightning[00:02:30]

Killed a hundred head of steers[00:02:31]

And the others rushed on by me [00:02:34]

And I was left to live[00:02:36]

The Master had a reason [00:02:38]

Life is His to take and give[00:02:39]

A miracle performed that night [00:02:44]

I wasn't meant to die[00:02:46]

The dead ones formed a[00:02:48]

Barricade least 6 or 7 high[00:02:49]

Right behind it there was I [00:02:51]

Afraid but safe and sound[00:02:53]

I cried and begged for mercy[00:02:55]

Kneeling there upon the ground[00:02:57]

A pardon I was granted [00:03:02]

My sinful soul set free[00:03:03]

No more to fear the angry[00:03:05]

Waves upon life's stormy sea[00:03:07]

Forgiven by the love of God [00:03:09]

A love that will remain[00:03:11]

I gave my life and soul the night[00:03:13]

The Savior called my name[00:03:15]

I gave my life and soul the night[00:03:19]

The Savior called my name[00:03:23]
