Verse 1
D
When I was but a young man
Bm
I was wild and full of fire
D
A youth within my teens
Bm
but full of challenge and desire
Bm
and left my mother and my dad
A
Bm
so to think their only boy was bad
Verse 2
D
I fell in with an outlaw band,
Bm
their names were known quite well
D
How many times we robbed and plundered,
D
Bm
This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall
G
A
I learned that much and more
Bm
the night I heard my master call
Bridge 1
G
D
One night we rustled cattle,
G
D
a thousand head or so
G
D
And started them out on the trail
Bm
that leads to Mexico
G
A
But a norhtern started blowin'
D
A
and lightnin' flashed about
D
G
I thought someone was calling me
A
D
I thought I heard a shout
Then at that moment
F#m
lightning struck not twenty yards from me
G
And left there was a giant cross
D
where once there was a tree
Bm
And this time I knew a heard a voice,
E
a voice so sweet and strange
D
A voice that came came from everywhere,
Bm
a voice that called my name
Bm
Bm
Verse 3
D
So frightened I was thinking
Bm
of sinful deeds I'd done
D
I failed to see a thousand head of
D
The cattle they stampeded,
Bm
were running all around
G
A
My pony ran but stumbled,
Bm
and it threw me to the ground
Bridge 2
G
D
I felt the end was nearing,
G
D
that death would be the price
G
D
When a mighty bolt of lightning
Bm
showed the face of Jesus Christ
G
A
And I cried "Oh Lord, forgive me
D
A
Don't let it happen now
D
G
I want to live for You alone,
A
D
oh God these words I vow."
My wicked past unfolded,
F#m
I thought of wasted years
G
When another bolt of lightning
D
killed a hundred head of steers
Bm
And the others rushed on by me,
D
The Master had a reason,
Bm
life is His to take and give
Bm
Bm
Verse 4
D
A miracle performed that night,
Bm
I wasn't meant to die
D
The dead ones formed a barricade
D
And right behind it, there was I,
Bm
afraid but safe and sound
G
A
I cried and begged for mercy
Bm
kneeling there upon the ground
Verse 5
D
A pardon I was granted,
Bm
my sinful soul set free
D
No more to fear the angry waves
Bm
upon life's stormy sea
D
Forgiven by the love of God,
Bm
a love that will remain
G
A
I gave my life and soul
Bm
the night the Saviour called my name
Bm
