1
When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire
2
A youth within my teens but full of challenge and desire
3
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad
4
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad
5
I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well
6
How many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell
7
This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall
8
I learned that much and more the night I heard my master call
9
One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so
10
And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico
11
But a norther started blowin' and lightnin' flashed about
12
I thought someone was calling me I thought I heard a shout
13
Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me
14
And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree
15
And this time I knew a heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange
16
A voice that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name
17
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done
18
I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run
19
The cattle they stampeded, were running all around
20
My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground
21
I felt the end was nearing, that death would be the price
22
When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ
23
And I cried, "Oh Lord, forgive me, don't let it happen now
24
I want to live for You alone, oh God these words I vow"
25
My wicked past unfolded, I thought of wasted years
26
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers
27
And the others rushed on by me, and I was left to live
28
The Master had a reason, life is His to take and give
29
A miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die
30
The dead ones formed a barricade least 6 or 7 high
31
Right behind it, there was I, afraid but safe and sound
32
I cried and begged for mercy kneeling there upon the ground
33
A pardon I was granted, my sinful soul set free
34
No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea
35
Forgiven by the love of God, a love that will remain
36
I gave my life and soul the night the Savior called my name
