《The Master’s Call (Live from Cowtown Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Master's Call (Live from Cowtown Version) - Waddie Mitchell

[00:00:42] I was but a young man

[00:00:44] Wild and full of fire

[00:00:46] A youth within my teens full

[00:00:48] Of challenge and desire

[00:00:50] I ran away from home

[00:00:51] And left my mother and my dad

[00:00:54] Grieved them so to think

[00:00:55] Their only boy was bad

[00:00:59] I fell in with an outlaw band

[00:01:01] Their names were known quite well

[00:01:02] How many times we robbed

[00:01:04] And plundered I could never tell

[00:01:06] This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall

[00:01:10] I learned that much and more the night

[00:01:12] I heard my master call

[00:01:16] One night we rustled cattle

[00:01:18] A thousand head or so

[00:01:20] And started them out

[00:01:21] On the trail that leads to Mexico

[00:01:24] But a norther started blowin'

[00:01:26] And lightnin' flashed about

[00:01:28] I thought someone was calling me

[00:01:30] And I thought I heard a shout

[00:01:33] Then at that moment lightning

[00:01:35] Struck not twenty yards from me

[00:01:37] Left there was a giant cross

[00:01:39] Where once there was a tree

[00:01:41] This time I knew a heard a voice

[00:01:43] A voice so sweet and strange

[00:01:45] A voice that came from everywhere

[00:01:47] A voice that called my name

[00:01:51] So frightened I was thinking

[00:01:53] Of sinful deeds I'd done

[00:01:55] I failed to see a thousand head

[00:01:57] Of cattle start to run

[00:01:59] The cattle they stampeded

[00:02:00] Were running all around

[00:02:03] My pony ran but stumbled

[00:02:04] And it threw me to the ground

[00:02:09] I felt the end was nearing

[00:02:11] That death would be the price

[00:02:13] When a mighty bolt of lightning

[00:02:14] Showed the face of Jesus Christ

[00:02:17] And I cried "Oh Lord forgive me

[00:02:19] Don't let it happen now

[00:02:21] I want to live for You alone

[00:02:23] Oh God these words I vow"

[00:02:26] My wicked past unfolded

[00:02:27] I thought of wasted years

[00:02:30] When another bolt of lightning

[00:02:31] Killed a hundred head of steers

[00:02:34] And the others rushed on by me

[00:02:36] And I was left to live

[00:02:38] The Master had a reason

[00:02:39] Life is His to take and give

[00:02:44] A miracle performed that night

[00:02:46] I wasn't meant to die

[00:02:48] The dead ones formed a

[00:02:49] Barricade least 6 or 7 high

[00:02:51] Right behind it there was I

[00:02:53] Afraid but safe and sound

[00:02:55] I cried and begged for mercy

[00:02:57] Kneeling there upon the ground

[00:03:02] A pardon I was granted

[00:03:03] My sinful soul set free

[00:03:05] No more to fear the angry

[00:03:07] Waves upon life's stormy sea

[00:03:09] Forgiven by the love of God

[00:03:11] A love that will remain

[00:03:13] I gave my life and soul the night

[00:03:15] The Savior called my name

[00:03:19] I gave my life and soul the night

[00:03:23] The Savior called my name
