[A] [Eb] Oooooh .
When I was but a young man, I was wild and full of fire.
A youth within my teens but full [Cm] of challenge and desire.
[Eb] I ran away from home and left my mother [Cm] and my [Ab] dad.
I know it grieved [Bb] them so to think [Cm] their only boy was bad.
I fell in with an outlaw band their names were known quite well.
How many times we robbed and plundered I could never tell.
[Eb] This kind of sinful living [Bb] [Ab] leads only to a fall.
I learned that much [Bb] and more the night [Gm] I heard my [Cm] master call.
[Ab] One night we [Eb] rustled cattle, [Ab] a thousand head [Eb] or so.
[Ab] And started them [Eb] out on the trail [Cm] that leads to Mexico.
[Fm] But a norther [Bb] started blowin' [Eb] and [Bb] lightning flashed about.
I thought someone [Ab] was calling me, [Gm] I thought I [Eb] heard a shout.
Then at that moment lightning struck [Gm] not twenty yards from me.
[Ab] And left there was a giant [Eb] cross, for once there was a tree.
[Bb] And this [Cm] time I knew I heard a voice, [Fm] a voice so sweet and strange.
[Eb] A voice that came from everywhere, [Cm] a voice that called my name.
[Eb] So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done.
I failed to see the thousand head [Cm] of cattle start to run.
[Eb] The cattle they stampeded were running all around.
[Fm] My pony ran [Bb] but stumbled [Cm] and it threw me to the ground.
[Ab] I felt the end [Eb] was near, [Ab] that death would be the price.
When a mighty [Eb] bowl of lightning [Cm] showed the face of Jesus Christ.
[Ab] And I cried, oh Lord [Bb] forgive me, [Eb] don't let it [Bb] happen now.
[Eb] I want to [Ab] live for you [Eb] alone, oh God these words I vow.
My wicked past unfolded, [Gm] I thought I've wasted years.
[Ab] When another bowl of lightning [Eb] killed a hundred head of steers.
[Cm] And the others rushed on by me [Fm] and I was left to live.
[Eb] The master had a reason, [Cm] life is his to take or give.
[Eb] A miracle preformed that night, I wasn't [Cm] meant to die.
The [Eb] dead ones formed a barricade, at least [Cm] six or seven high.
[Eb].
Right behind it there was I, afraid but [Cm] safe and sound.
I [Ab] cried and [Bb] begged for mercy, [Cm] kneeling there upon the ground.
A [Eb] pardon I was granted, [Cm] my sinful soul set free.
[Ebm] No more to fear the angry [Cm] waves, upon life's stormy sea.
[Eb].
Forgiven by the love of [G] God, a love that [Cm] will remain.
I [Ab] gave my [Bb] life and soul the night [Cm] the Savior called my name.
[N]
