《The Master’s Call(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Master's Call (Album Version) - Don Edwads

[00:00:20] When I was but a young man I was wild

[00:00:22] And full of fire

[00:00:24] A you'th within my teens but full of challenge and desire

[00:00:28] I ran away from home and left my mother

[00:00:31] And my dad

[00:00:32] I know it grieved them so to

[00:00:34] Think their only boy was bad

[00:00:38] I fell in with an outlaw band

[00:00:40] Their names were known quite well

[00:00:42] How many times we robbed and plundered

[00:00:45] I could never tell

[00:00:47] This kind of sinful livin' well leads only to a fall

[00:00:51] I learned that much and more the night

[00:00:53] I heard my master call

[00:00:57] One night we rustled cattle

[00:00:59] A thousand head or so

[00:01:01] And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico

[00:01:05] But a norther started blowin'

[00:01:07] And lightnin' flashed about

[00:01:09] I thought someone was calling me

[00:01:12] I thought I heard a shout

[00:01:15] Then at that moment lightning struck not

[00:01:17] Twenty yards from me

[00:01:19] And left there was a giant

[00:01:21] 'Cross where once there was a tree

[00:01:24] And this time I knew a heard a voice

[00:01:26] A voice so sweet and strange

[00:01:28] A voice that came from everywhere

[00:01:30] A voice that called my name

[00:01:34] So frightened I was thinking

[00:01:35] Of sinful deeds I'd done

[00:01:38] I failed to see a thousand

[00:01:40] Head of cattle start to run

[00:01:42] The cattle they stampeded were running all around

[00:01:46] My pony ran but stumbled and

[00:01:49] It threw me to the ground

[00:01:52] I felt the end was nearing

[00:01:54] That death would be the price

[00:01:56] When a mighty bolt of lightning

[00:01:58] Showed the face of Jesus Christ

[00:02:01] And I cried oh Lord forgive

[00:02:02] Me don't let it happen now

[00:02:05] I want to live for you alone

[00:02:07] Oh God these words I vow

[00:02:10] My wicked life unfolded and I thought of wasted years

[00:02:15] When another bolt of lightning

[00:02:17] Killed a hundred head of steers

[00:02:19] And the others rushed on by me and

[00:02:21] I was left to live

[00:02:23] The master had a reason life was his to take and give

[00:02:29] A miracle performed that night I wasn't meant to die

[00:02:33] The dead ones formed a barricade least 6 or 7 high

[00:02:38] Right behind it there was I afraid but safe and sound

[00:02:42] I cried and begged for mercy

[00:02:44] Kneeling there upon the ground

[00:02:46] A pardon I was granted my sinful soul set free

[00:02:51] No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea

[00:02:55] Forgiven by the love of God a love that will remain

[00:02:59] I gave my life and soul

[00:03:01] The night the savior called my name

[00:03:05] I gave my life and soul

[00:03:08] The night the savior called my name
