The Master's Call - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)[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 [00:00:12]

I ran away from home[00:00:15]

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 [00:00:21]

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

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

How many times we robbed[00:00:29]

And plundered I could never tell [00:00:31]

This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall [00:00:34]

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

I heard my master call [00:00:41]

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

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

And started them out on the trail[00:00:48]

That leads to Mexico [00:00:50]

But a norhtern started blowin'[00:00:53]

And lightnin' flashed about [00:00:55]

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

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

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 [00:01:11]

And this time I knew a heard a voice [00:01:13]

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

A voice that came from everywhere [00:01:18]

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

So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done [00:01:24]

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 [00:01:36]

My pony ran but stumbled [00:01:38]

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

I felt the end was nearing [00:01:43]

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 [00:01:55]

I want to live for You alone [00:01:57]

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

My wicked past unfolded [00:02:03]

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

When another bolt of lightning[00:02:08]

Killed a hundred head of steers [00:02:10]

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

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

The Master had a reason [00:02:18]

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

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

I wasn't ment to die[00:02:25]

The dead ones formed[00:02:27]

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

Right behind it there was I [00:02:32]

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

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

There upon the ground[00:02:39]

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

My sinful soul set free [00:02:44]

No more to fear the angry waves upon[00:02:46]

Life's stormy sea [00:02:49]

Forgiven by the love of God [00:02:51]

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]
