When I was but a young man, I was wild and full of fire |
| [00:10.620] |
A youth within my teens, but full of challenge and desire |
| [00:15.269] |
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad |
| [00:19.764] |
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy went bad |
| [00:24.247] |
I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well |
| [00:28.952] |
How many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell |
| [00:33.565] |
This kind of sinful living, leads only to a fall |
| [00:38.258] |
I learned that much and more the night I heard my Master's call |
| [00:42.681] |
One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so |
| [00:47.418] |
And started then out on the trail that leads to Mexico |
| [00:52.037] |
When a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about |
| [00:56.747] |
I thought someone was calling me, I thought I heard a shout |
| [01:02.371] |
Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me |
| [01:07.175] |
And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree |
| [01:11.610] |
This time I knew I heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange |
| [01:16.327] |
A voice that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name |
| [01:22.182] |
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done |
| [01:26.765] |
I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run |
| [01:31.476] |
The cattle they stampeded, were running all around |
| [01:35.988] |
My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground |
| [01:40.564] |
I felt the end was near, that death would be the price |
| [01:45.115] |
When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ |
| [01:49.809] |
And I cried oh Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now |
| [01:54.453] |
I want to live for you alone, Oh God these words I vow |
| [02:00.260] |
My wicked past unfolded and I thought of wasted years |
| [02:05.215] |
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers |
| [02:09.454] |
And the others rushed on by me and I was left to live |
| [02:14.132] |
The Master had a reason, life is his to take or give |
| [02:18.892] |
A miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die |
| [02:23.438] |
The dead ones formed a barricade nearly six or seven high |
| [02:28.014] |
And right behind it there was I, afraid but safe and sound |
| [02:32.739] |
I cried in vain for mercy kneeling there upon the ground |
| [02:37.431] |
A pardon I was granted, my sinful soul set free |
| [02:41.968] |
No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy seas |
| [02:46.547] |
Forgiven by the love of God, a love that will remain |
| [02:51.134] |
I gave my life and so that night the Saviour called my name |
