《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

[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

[00:00:17] And left my mother and my dad

[00:00:20] 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

[00:00:27] Their names were known quite well

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

[00:00:31] I could never tell

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

[00:00:39] I learned that much and more the night

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

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

[00:00:46] 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 blowing

[00:00:55] And lightning flashed about

[00:00:58] I thought someone was calling me

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

[00:01:04] Then at that moment lightning

[00:01:06] 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 I heard a voice

[00:01:16] A voice so sweet and strange

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

[00:01:21] A voice that called my name

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

[00:01:29] I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run

[00:01:34] The cattle they stampeded

[00:01:36] Were running all around

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

[00:01:41] 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

[00:01:48] When a mighty bolt of lightning

[00:01:50] Showed the face of Jesus Christ

[00:01:53] 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 words I vow

[00:02:03] My wicked past unfolded I thought of wasted years

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

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

[00:02:13] And the others rushed on by me

[00:02:16] And I was left to live

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

[00:02:20] Life is His to take and give

[00:02:23] A miracle performed that night

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

[00:02:28] The dead ones formed a barricade

[00:02:30] Least 6 or 7 high

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

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

[00:02:37] I cried and begged for mercy

[00:02:39] Kneeling there upon the ground

[00:02:42] A pardon I was granted

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

[00:02:47] No more to fear the angry waves

[00:02:49] Upon life's stormy sea

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

[00:02:54] A love that will remain

[00:02:56] I gave my life and soul the night

[00:02:59] The Saviour called my name
