Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
When I was but a young man,
Am 
I was wild and full of fire
C 
A youth within my teens,
Am 
but full of challenge and desire
C 
I ran away from home
Am 
and left my mother and my dad
F 
I know it grieved them
G 
Am 
so to think their only boy was bad
C 
I fell in with an outlaw
Am 
and their names were known quite well
C 
How many times we robbed and plundered
Am 
I could never tell
C 
This kind of sinful livin'
Am 
leads only to a fall
F 
I learned that much and more
G 
Am 
the night I heard my master call
F 
C 
One night we wrestled cattle,
F 
a thousand head or so
C 
F 
C 
And started then out on the trail
Am 
that leads to Mexico
F 
G 
But a loader started blowin'
C 
and lightning flashed about
G 
C 
F 
I thought someone was callin' me,
G 
C 
I thought I heard a shout
And at that moment
lightning struck
Em 
not twenty yards from me
F 
And left there was a giant cross
C 
where once there was a tree
Am 
And this time I knew I heard a voice,
Dm 
a voice so sweet and strange
C 
A voice that came from everywhere,
Am 
a voice that called my name
C 
So frightened I was thinkin'
Am 
on simple deeds I'd done
C 
I failed to see the thousand head
Am 
of cattle start to run
C 
The cattle they stampeded
Am 
were runnin' all around
F 
G 
My pony ran but stumbled
Am 
and it threw me to the ground
F 
C 
I felt the end was near,
F 
that death would be the price
C 
F 
C 
When a mighty bolt of lightning
Am 
showed a face in Jesus Christ
F 
G 
I cried, O Lord, forgive me,
C 
don't let it happen now
G 
C 
F 
I want to live for You alone,
G 
C 
O God, these words I vow
My rigged past unfolded,
Em 
I thought of wasted years
F 
And another bolt of lightning
C 
killed a hundred head of steers
Am 
And the others rushed on by me,
Dm 
I   was left to live
C 
A master has a reason,
Am 
life is his to take or give
C 
A miracle performed that night,
Am 
I wasn't meant to die
C 
The dead ones formed a barricade,
Am 
leave six or seven high
C 
Right behind them there was I,
Am 
afraid but safe and sound
F 
G 
I cried and begged for mercy,
Am 
kneeling there upon the ground
C 
A pardon I was granted,
Am 
my sinful soul set free
C 
No more to fear the angry wave
Am 
upon light stormy sea
C 
Forgiven by the love of God,
Am 
a love that will remain
F 
I gave my life and soul
G 
Am 
the night the Savior called my name
