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

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[00:00:09]

I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad[00:00:13]

I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad[00:00:17]

I fell in with an outlaw band their names were known quite well[00:00:21]

How many times we robbed and plundered I could never tell[00:00:25]

This kind of sinful living leads only to a fall[00:00:30]

I learned that much and more the night I heard my master call[00:00:34]

One night we rustled cattle a thousand head or so[00:00:38]

And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico[00:00:42]

But a norhtern started blowing and lightning flashed about[00:00:47]

I thought someone was calling me I thought I heard a shout[00:00:51]

Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me[00:00:56]

And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree[00:01:00]

And this time I knew a heard a voice a voice so sweet and strange[00:01:04]

A voice that came from everywhere a voice that called my name[00:01:09]

So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done[00:01:17]

I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run[00:01:21]

The cattle they stampeded were running all around[00:01:26]

My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground[00:01:30]

I felt the end was nearing that death would be the price[00:01:34]

When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ[00:01:38]

And I cried Oh Lord forgive me Don't let it happen now[00:01:42]

I want to live for You alone oh God these I vow words[00:01:46]

My wicked past unfolded I thought of wasted years[00:01:52]

When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers[00:01:56]

And the others rushed on by me and I was left to live[00:02:00]

The Master had a reason life is His to take and give[00:02:04]

A miracle performed that night I wasn't ment to die[00:02:13]

The dead ones formed a barricade least 6 or 7 high[00:02:17]

Right behind it there was I afraid but safe and sound[00:02:21]

I cried and begged for mercy kneeling there upon the ground[00:02:25]

A pardon I was granted my sinful soul set free[00:02:30]

No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea[00:02:34]

Forgiven by the love of God a love that will remain[00:02:38]

I gave my life and soul the night the Saviour called my name[00:02:42]
