Hide Lyrics Hint
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ 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,
[G] I know it [A] grieved them so to [Bm] think their only boy was bad.
I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well,
[F#m] [D] How many times we robbed and plundered I could never tell,
This kind of sinful living [Bm] leads only to a fall.
[G] I learned that much [A] and more the night I heard [Bm] my master call.
[G] One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so,
Started [Bm] them out on the trail that leads to Mexico.
[G] When a norther [D] started blowin' and lightning [G] flashed about,
I thought someone was callin' me, I [B] thought I heard a [A] [D] shout.
_ At that moment lightning struck, [F#m] not 20 yards from me,
[G] And left there was a giant cross, for once there was a [Bm] tree.
And this time I knew I heard a voice, [Em] a voice so sweet and strange,
[D] A voice that came from everywhere, [Bm] a voice that called my name. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] So frightened I was thinkin' of sinful deeds I'd done,
I'd fail to see the [Bm] thousand head of cattle [D] start to run.
[Bm] The cattle they [D] stampeded were [G] runnin' all around,
My pony ran [A] but stumbled [G] 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 [A] Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now,
[G] I wanna live for you [A] alone, oh God, these words [D] I vowed.
My wicked life unfolded, [F#m] I thought I'd wasted years,
[G] But another bolt of lightning killed [Bm] a hundred head of steers.
And the others rushed on climbing, [Em] and I was left to live,
[D] The Master had a reason, life [Bm] was his to take a give.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
A miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die,
[D] The dead ones formed a barricade, at least six or seven high.
And right behind him there was I, afraid but safe and sound,
[G] I cried and [A] begged for mercy, [Bm] 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.
[D] Forgiven by the love of [Bm] God, a love that will remain,
[G] I gave my life [A] and soul the night [Bm] the Savior called my name. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
