Master's Call
4
When I was but a young man,I was wild and full of fire
5
A youth within my teens, but full of challenge and desire
6
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad
7
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy went bad
8
I
9
I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well
10
How many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell
11
This kind of sinful living, leads only to a fall
12
I learned that much and more the night I heard my Master's call
13
II
14
One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so
15
And started then out on the trail that leads to Mexico
16
When a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about
17
I thought someone was calling me, I thought I heard a shout
18
III
19
Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me
20
And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree
21
This time I knew I heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange
22
A voice that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name
23
I
24
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done
25
I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run
26
The cattle they stampeded, were running all around
27
My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground
28
II
29
I felt the end was near, that death would be the price
30
When another bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ
31
And I cried oh Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now
32
I want to live for you alone, Oh God these words I vow
33
III
34
My wicked past unfolded and I thought of wasted years
35
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers
36
And the others rushed on by me and I was left to live
37
The Master had a reason,life is his to take or give
38
I
39
A miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die
40
The dead ones formed a barricade nearly six or seven high
41
And right behind it there was I, afraid but safe and sound
42
I cried in vain for mercy kneeling there upon the ground
43
I
44
A pardon I was granted, my sinful soul set free
45
No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy seas
46
Forgiven by the love of God, a love that will remain
47
I learned that much and more the night the Saviour called my name
