Intro 1
(B minor) (B minor)
Verse 1
When (D major) I was but a young man
I was (B minor) wild and full of fire
A (D major) youth within my teens
but full of (B minor) challenge and desire
I (D major) ran away from home
and left my (B minor) mother and my dad
I (G major) know it grieved them
(A major) so to think their only (B minor) boy was bad

Verse 2
I (D major) fell in with an outlaw band,
their names (B minor) were known quite well
How (D major) many times we robbed and plundered,
I (B minor) could never tell
This (D major) kind of sinful livin' leads (B minor) only to a fall
I (G major) learned that much and more (A major)
the night I heard (B minor) my master call
Bridge 1
One night (G major) we rustled (D major) cattle,
a (G major) thousand head or (D major) so
And (G major) started them out (D major) on the trail
that (B minor) leads to Mexico
But a (G major) norhtern started blowin' (A major)
and (D major) lightnin' flashed about (A major)
I (D major) thought someone was (G major) calling me
I (A major) thought I heard a (D major) shout
Then at that moment
lightning struck not (F sharp minor) twenty yards from me
And (G major) left there was a giant cross
where once (D major) there was a tree
And this (B minor) time I knew a heard a voice,
a voice (E major) so sweet and strange
A (D major) voice that came came from everywhere,
a voice (B minor) that called my name
(B minor) (B minor)
Verse 3
So (D major) frightened I was thinking
of (B minor) sinful deeds I'd done
I failed (D major) to see a thousand head of
(B minor) cattle start to run
The (D major) cattle they stampeded,
were (B minor) running all around
My (G major) pony ran but (A major) stumbled,
and it threw (B minor) me to the ground
Bridge 2
I (G major) felt the end was (D major) nearing,
that (G major) death would be the price (D major)
When a (G major) mighty bolt of (D major) lightning
showed the (B minor) face of Jesus Christ
And I (G major) cried "Oh Lord, forgive (A major) me
Don't (D major) let it happen now (A major)
I (D major) want to live for (G major) You alone,
oh God (A major) these words I (D major) vow."
My wicked past unfolded,
I (F sharp minor) thought of wasted years
When another (G major) bolt of lightning
killed a (D major) hundred head of steers
And the (B minor) others rushed on by me,
and (E major) I was left to live
The (D major) Master had a reason,
life is (B minor) His to take and give
(B minor) (B minor)
Verse 4
A (D major) miracle performed that night,
I (B minor) wasn't meant to die
The (D major) dead ones formed a barricade
least (B minor) 6 or 7 high
And right (D major) behind it, there was I,
afraid (B minor) but safe and sound
I (G major) cried and begged for mercy (A major)
kneeling there (B minor) upon the ground
Verse 5
A (D major) pardon I was granted,
my sinful (B minor) soul set free
No more (D major) to fear the angry waves
upon (B minor) life's stormy sea
For (D major) given by the love of God,
a (B minor) love that will remain
I (G major) gave my life and (A major) soul
the night the (B minor) Saviour called my name
(B minor) (B minor)
