Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
When (C major) I was but a young man,
(A minor) wild and full of fire
A (C major) youth within my teens but
full of chal (A minor) lenge and desire
I (C major) ran away from home and left
my (A minor) mother and my dad
It (F major) grieved them so to think (G major) that
their (A minor) only son was bad
I fell (C major) in with an outlaw (A minor) band their names
were known quite well
How many (C major) times we'd robbed and
plundered (A minor) I could never tell
This (C major) kind of sinful living will lead (A minor) only to a fall
I (F major) learned that much and more (G major)
(A minor) the night I heard my Master call
(G major) One (F major) night we rustled cattle (C major)
A thousand (F major) head or so (C major)
And (F major) led them down (C major) the trail
that (A minor) leads to Mexico
(G major) When a (F major) norther started blow (G major) ing,
and light (C major) ning flashed above (F major)
I thought (C major) someone was (F major) calling me,
(G major) thought I heard a shout (C major)
At that moment lightning struck
not (E minor) twenty yards from me
And (F major) left there was a giant cross
where (C major) once there was a tree
This time I heard a voice,
a (G major) voice so sweet and plain
A (C major) voice that came from everywhere
A (A minor) voice that called my name
So (C major) frightened I was thinking of
the sin (A minor) ful deeds I'd done
I failed (C major) to see the thousand
head of (A minor) cattle start to run
The (C major) cattle they stampeded and
were (A minor) running all around
My (F major) pony ran but stumbled (G major)
and threw (A minor) me to the ground
I (F major) felt the end was (C major) nearing,
that (F major) death would be the price (C major)
When a (F major) mighty bolt of light (C major) ning
showed the face (A minor) of Jesus Christ.
I (F major) cried "oh Lord forgive (G major) me, don't (C major) let it happen now, (F major)
I (C major) want to live for (F major) you along, God (G major) these words I (C major) vow."
My wicked life unfolded and I thought (E minor) of wasted years when an
(F major) other bolt of lightning killed a (C major) hundred head of steers.
The others rushed on by me,
and (G major) I was left to live.
The mas (C major) ter had a reason life
was (A minor) his to take or give.
A (C major) miracle performed that night I
(A minor) was n't meant to die.
The dead (C major) ones formed a barricade
least six (A minor) or seven high
(C major) Right behind it there was I afraid (A minor)
but safe and sound
I cried (F major) and begged for mer (G major) cy,
kneeling (A major) there upon (A minor) the ground.
A pardon (C major) I was granted,
and my sin (A minor) ful soul set free
No (C major) more to fear the angry waves
upon (A minor) life's stormy sea
For (C major) given by the love of God,
a (A minor) love that will remain
I gave (F major) my life and soul (G major) the night
the sa (A minor) vior called my name
I (F major) gave my life and soul (G major) the night
the (A minor) savior (E major) called my (A minor) name
