The Master's Call
written and recorded by Marty Robbins

C Am
When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire
C Am
A youth within my teens but full of challenge and desire
C Am
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad
F G7 Am
I know it grieved them so to think there only boy was bad

C Am
I fell in with an outlaw bunch there names were known quite well
C Am
How many times we robbed and plundered I could never tell
C Am
This kind of sinful living leads only to a fall
F G7 Am
I learned that much and more the night I heard my Master call

F C F C
One night we rustled cattle a thousand head or so
F C Am
And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico
G7 C F
When a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about
C F G7 C
I thought someone was calling me I thought I heard a shout

Em
And at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me
F C
And left there was a giant cross where once there'd been a tree
Am Dm
This time I know I heard a voice a voice so sweet and strange
Em Am
A voice that came from everywhere a voice that called my name

C Am
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done
C Am
I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run
C Am
The cattle they stampeded were running all around
F G7 Am
My pony ran but stumbled and he threw me to the ground

F C F C
I felt the end was nearing that death would be the price
F C Am
When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ
G7 C F
And I cried oh Lord forgive me don't let it happen now
C F G7 C
I want to live for you alone oh God these words I vow

Em
My wicked past unfolded and I thought of wasted years
F C
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers
Am Dm
And the others rushed on by me but I was left to live
Em Am
The master had a reason life is His to take or give

C Am
A miracle performed that night I wasn't meant to die
C Am
The dead ones formed a barricade least six or seven high
C Am
And right behind it there was I afraid but safe and sound
F G7 Am
I cried and begged for mercy then and there upon the ground

C Am
A pardon I was granted my sinful soul set free
C Am
No more to fear the angry waves upon life’s stormy seas
C Am
Forgiven by the love of God a love that will remain
F G7 Am
I gave my life and soul the night the Savior called my name
