When I was Dbut a young man,I was wild aBmnd full of fire
A Dyouth within my teens, but full of Bmchallenge and desire
I Dran away from home and left my Bmmother and my dad
I Gknow it grieved them Aso to think their Bmonly boy went bad
I feDll in with an outlaw band, their namBmes were known quite well
HowD many times we robbed and plunderedBm, I could never tell
ThiDs kind of sinful living, leads onlBmy to a fall
I lGearned that muchA and more the nightBm I heard my Master's call
OGne night we rustlDed cattle,G a thousand head Dor so
And Gstarted then out Don the trail that Bmleads to Mexico
When a Gnorther started Ablowing and Dlightning flashed Gabout
I Dthought someone was Gcalling me, I Athought I heard a Dshout
Then Dat that moment lightning struck not F#mtwenty yards from me
And Gleft there was a giant cross where Donce there was a tree
This Bmtime I knew I heard a voice, a Emvoice so sweet and strange
A F#mvoice that came from everywhere, a Bmvoice that called my name
So Dfrightened I was thinking of sinfulBm deeds I'd done
I fDailed to see the thousand head of Bmcattle start to run
TheD cattle they stampeded, were runnBming all around
My Gpony ran but stumAbled and it thBmrew me to the ground
I Gfelt the end wasD near, thatG death would be thDe price
WhGen another boltD of lightning showed the Bmface of Jesus Christ
AnGd I cried oh LordA forgive me, dDon't let it happGen now
I wDant to live for yGou alone, Oh GAod these words DI vow
MyD wicked past unfolded and I thouF#mght of wasted years
WheGn another bolt of lightning kilDled a hundred head of steers
AndBm the others rushed on by me anEmd I was left to live
TheF#m Master had a reason,liBmfe is his to take or give
A mDiracle performed that night,Bm I wasn't meant to die
The Ddead ones formed a barricade Bmnearly six or seven high
And Dright behind it there was I, Bmafraid but safe and sound
I cGried in vain for merAcy kneeling Bmthere upon the ground
A pDardon I was granted, my Bmsinful soul set free
No Dmore to fear the angry wBmaves upon life's stormy seas
ForDgiven by the love of GodBm, a love that will remain
I lGearned that much andA more the night the BmSaviour called my name
