Tonart: A minor•
Verse 1
C
When I was but a young man,
Am
wild and full of fire
C
A youth within my teens but
Am
full of challenge and desire
C
I ran away from home and left
Am
my mother and my dad
F
G
It grieved them so to think that
Am
their only son was bad
C
Am
I fell in with an outlaw band their names
were known quite well
C
How many times we'd robbed and
Am
plundered I could never tell
C
Am
This kind of sinful living will lead only to a fall
F
G
I learned that much and more
Am
the night I heard my Master call
G
F
C
One night we rustled cattle
F
C
A thousand head or so
F
C
And led them down the trail
Am
that leads to Mexico
G
F
G
When a norther started blowing,
C
F
and lightning flashed above
C
F
I thought someone was calling me,
G
C
thought I heard a shout
At that moment lightning struck
Em
not twenty yards from me
F
And left there was a giant cross
C
where once there was a tree
This time I heard a voice,
G
a voice so sweet and plain
C
A voice that came from everywhere
Am
A voice that called my name
C
So frightened I was thinking of
Am
the sinful deeds I'd done
C
I failed to see the thousand
Am
head of cattle start to run
C
The cattle they stampeded and
Am
were running all around
F
G
My pony ran but stumbled
Am
and threw me to the ground
F
C
I felt the end was nearing,
F
C
that death would be the price
F
C
When a mighty bolt of lightning
Am
showed the face of Jesus Christ.
F
G
C
F
I cried "oh Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now,
C
F
G
C
I want to live for you along, God these words I vow."
Em
My wicked life unfolded and I thought of wasted years when an
F
C
other bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers.
The others rushed on by me,
G
and I was left to live.
C
The master had a reason life
Am
was his to take or give.
C
A miracle performed that night I
Am
was n't meant to die.
C
The dead ones formed a barricade
Am
least six or seven high
C
Am
Right behind it there was I afraid
but safe and sound
F
G
I cried and begged for mercy,
A
Am
kneeling there upon the ground.
C
A pardon I was granted,
Am
and my sinful soul set free
C
No more to fear the angry waves
Am
upon life's stormy sea
C
Forgiven by the love of God,
Am
a love that will remain
F
G
I gave my life and soul the night
Am
the savior called my name
F
G
I gave my life and soul the night
Am
E
Am
the savior called my name
