《The Master’s Call》歌词

[00:00:00] The Master's Call - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)

[00:00:05] When I was but a young man

[00:00:07] I was wild and full of fire

[00:00:10] A youth within my teens

[00:00:12] But full of challenge and desire

[00:00:15] I ran away from home

[00:00:16] And left my mother and my dad

[00:00:19] I know it grieved them

[00:00:21] So to think their only boy was bad

[00:00:24] I fell in with an outlaw band

[00:00:26] Their names were known quite well

[00:00:29] How many times we robbed

[00:00:31] And plundered I could never tell

[00:00:34] This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall

[00:00:38] I learned that much and more the night

[00:00:41] I heard my master call

[00:00:43] One night we rustled cattle

[00:00:45] A thousand head or so

[00:00:48] And started them out on the trail

[00:00:50] That leads to Mexico

[00:00:53] But a norhtern started blowin'

[00:00:55] And lightnin' flashed about

[00:00:57] I thought someone was calling me

[00:01:00] I thought I heard a shout

[00:01:03] Then at that moment lightning

[00:01:05] Struck not twenty yards from me

[00:01:08] And left there was a giant cross

[00:01:11] Where once there was a tree

[00:01:13] And this time I knew a heard a voice

[00:01:15] A voice so sweet and strange

[00:01:18] A voice that came from everywhere

[00:01:20] A voice that called my name

[00:01:24] So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done

[00:01:28] I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run

[00:01:33] The cattle they stampeded

[00:01:36] Were running all around

[00:01:38] My pony ran but stumbled

[00:01:40] And it threw me to the ground

[00:01:43] I felt the end was nearing

[00:01:45] That death would be the price

[00:01:47] When a mighty bolt of lightning

[00:01:49] Showed the face of Jesus Christ

[00:01:52] And I cried "Oh Lord forgive me

[00:01:55] Don't let it happen now

[00:01:57] I want to live for You alone

[00:02:00] Oh God these I vow "words

[00:02:03] My wicked past unfolded

[00:02:05] I thought of wasted years

[00:02:08] When another bolt of lightning

[00:02:10] Killed a hundred head of steers

[00:02:12] And the others rushed on by me

[00:02:15] And I was left to live

[00:02:18] The Master had a reason

[00:02:19] Life is His to take and give

[00:02:22] A miracle performed that night

[00:02:25] I wasn't ment to die

[00:02:27] The dead ones formed

[00:02:28] A barricade least 6 or 7 high

[00:02:32] Right behind it there was I

[00:02:34] Afraid but safe and sound

[00:02:36] I cried and begged for mercy kneeling

[00:02:39] There upon the ground

[00:02:41] A pardon I was granted

[00:02:44] My sinful soul set free

[00:02:46] No more to fear the angry waves upon

[00:02:49] Life's stormy sea

[00:02:51] Forgiven by the love of God

[00:02:53] A love that will remain

[00:02:55] I gave my life and soul the night

[00:02:58] The Saviour called my name
