The Master's Call - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)

When I was but a young man

I was wild and full of fire

 

A youth within my teens

But full of challenge and desire

 

I ran away from home

And left my mother and my dad

 

I know it grieved them

So to think their only boy was bad

I fell in with an outlaw band

Their names were known quite well

 

How many times we robbed

And plundered I could never tell

 

This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall

 

I learned that much and more the night

I heard my master call

 

One night we rustled cattle

 

A thousand head or so

 

And started them out on the trail

That leads to Mexico

 

But a norhtern started blowin'

 

And lightnin' flashed about

 

I thought someone was calling me

I thought I heard a shout

 

Then at that moment lightning

Struck not twenty yards from me

 

And left there was a giant cross

 

Where once there was a tree

 

And this time I knew a heard a voice

A voice so sweet and strange

 

A voice that came from everywhere

A voice that called my name

 

So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done

 

I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run

 

The cattle they stampeded

 

Were running all around

 

My pony ran but stumbled

 

And it threw me to the ground

 

I felt the end was nearing

 

That death would be the price

 

When a mighty bolt of lightning

Showed the face of Jesus Christ

 

And I cried "Oh Lord forgive me

 

Don't let it happen now

 

I want to live for You alone

Oh God these I vow "words

 

My wicked past unfolded

 

I thought of wasted years

 

When another bolt of lightning

 

Killed a hundred head of steers

 

And the others rushed on by me

 

And I was left to live

The Master had a reason

Life is His to take and give

 

A miracle performed that night

I wasn't ment to die

 

The dead ones formed

A barricade least 6 or 7 high

 

Right behind it there was I

Afraid but safe and sound

 

I cried and begged for mercy kneeling

There upon the ground

 

A pardon I was granted

 

My sinful soul set free

 

No more to fear the angry waves upon

Life's stormy sea

 

Forgiven by the love of God

A love that will remain

 

I gave my life and soul the night

 

The Saviour called my name
