《The Master’s Call》歌词

[00:00:00] The Master's Call - Marty Robbins

[00:00:05] When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire

[00:00:09] A youth within my teens but full of challenge and desire

[00:00:13] I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad

[00:00:17] I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad

[00:00:21] I fell in with an outlaw band their names were known quite well

[00:00:25] How many times we robbed and plundered I could never tell

[00:00:29] This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall

[00:00:34] I learned that much and more the night I heard my master call

[00:00:38] One night we rustled cattle a thousand head or so

[00:00:42] And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico

[00:00:47] But a norhtern started blowin' and lightnin' flashed about

[00:00:50] I thought someone was calling me I thought I heard a shout

[00:00:56] Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me

[00:01:00] And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree

[00:01:04] And this time I knew a heard a voice a voice so sweet and strange

[00:01:09] A voice that came from everywhere a voice that called my name

[00:01:17] So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done

[00:01:21] I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run

[00:01:25] The cattle they stampeded were running all around

[00:01:29] My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground

[00:01:34] I felt the end was nearing that death would be the price

[00:01:38] When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ

[00:01:42] And I cried "Oh Lord forgive me Don't let it happen now

[00:01:46] I want to live for You alone oh God these words I vow "

[00:01:51] My wicked past unfolded I thought of wasted years

[00:01:56] When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers

[00:02:00] And the others rushed on by me and I was left to live

[00:02:04] The Master had a reason life is His to take and give

[00:02:13] A miracle performed that night I wasn't ment to die

[00:02:17] The dead ones formed a barricade least 6 or 7 high

[00:02:21] Right behind it there was I afraid but safe and sound

[00:02:25] I cried and begged for mercy kneeling there upon the ground

[00:02:29] A pardon I was granted my sinful soul set free

[00:02:34] No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea

[00:02:38] Forgiven by the love of God a love that will remain

[00:02:42] I gave my life and soul the night the Saviour called my name
