[A]
[D] [Am]
[G] [C] When I was but a young man, [Am] wild and full of fire,
[C] A youth within my teens but full [Am] of challenge and desire,
[C] I ran away from home and left [Am] my mother and my dad,
[F] It grieved them [G] so to think that [Am] their only boy was bad.
[G] [C] I fell in with an outlaw [Am] band, the names were known quite well,
[C] How many times we dropped and [Am] plundered I could never tell,
[C] This kind of sinful living [Am] will lead only to a fall,
[F] I learned that much [G] and more the [Am] night I heard my master call.
[G] [F] One night we [C] rustled cattle, [F] a thousand head [C] or so,
[F] And started them [C] out on the trail [Am] that leads to Mexico,
[G] [F] When a norther started [G] blowing [C] and lightning [F] flashed about,
[C] I thought someone [F] was calling me, [G] thought I [C] heard a shout,
At that moment lightning struck [Em] not twenty yards from me,
[F] And left there was a giant [C] cross where once there was a tree,
This time I knew I heard a voice, [G] a voice so sweet to blame,
[C] A voice that came from everywhere, [Bm] a voice that called [Am] my name,
[G] [C] So frightened I was thinking [Am] of 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,
[G] [F] My pony ran [G] but stumbled [Am] and threw me to the ground.
[F] I felt the [C] end was near, [F] that death would be [C] the price,
[F] When a mighty [C] ball of lightning [Am] showed the face of Jesus [Em] Christ,
[F] Then I cried, oh [G] Lord forgive me, [C] don't let it [F] happen now,
[C] I want to [F] live for you [G] alone, God these [C] words I've thought,
My wicked life unfolded and [Em] I thought I've wasted years,
[F] When another ball of lightning [C] killed a hundred head of steers,
And the others rushed on by me [G] and I was left to live,
[C] The master had a reason [Am] life was his to take or give,
[Bm] [C] A miracle performed that [Am] night I wasn't meant to die,
[C] The dead ones formed a [Am] barricade at least six or seven high,
[C] And right behind it there was [Am] I afraid but safe and [Am] sound,
[F] I cried and [G] begged for mercy, [A] 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 [Am] waves upon life's stormy sea,
[C] Forgiven by the love of [Am] God, a love that will remain,
[F] I gave my [G] life and soul [Am] the night the Savior called my name,
[F] I gave my [G] life and soul the night [Am] the Savior
[E] called [A] my name.
