	C	Am
	When I was but a young man, wild and full of f	ire

	C	Am
	A youth within my teens but full of challenge and des	ire

	C	Am
	I ran away from home, and left my mother and my dad

	F	G	Am
			How it grieved them so to think, that 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 will lead only to a fall

	F	G	Am
			I learned that much and more, the night I heard my master call

	C	Am
	One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head	or so

	C	Am
	And started them out on the trail that leads to mexico

	G	C
	When a norther started blowin, and lightning flash	ed about

	Am	F	Am
			I thought someone was callin me, I thought I heard a shout

	C	Am
	And at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me

	C	Am
	And left there was a giant cross where once there'd been a t	ree

	G	C
	This time I know I heard a voice, a voice so sweet	and plain

	Am	F	Am
		A voice	that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name

	C	Am
	So frightened I was thinking of the sinful deeds I'd d	one

	C	Am
	I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run

	C	Am
	The cattle they stampeded and were runnin all around

	F	G	Am
			My pony ran but stumbled, and he threw me to the ground

	C	Am
	I felt the end was nearin, that death	would be the price

	C	Am
	When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ

	G	C
	And I cried oh lord forgive me, don't let it happ	en now

	Am	F	Am
	I want to live for you alone, god these w	ords I vow

	C	Am
	My wicked life unfolded, and I thought	of wasted years

	C	Am
	When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of ste	ers

	G	C
	And the others rushed on by me, but I was left to	live

	Am	F	Am
	The master had a reason life was 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	G	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 lifes stormy	seas

	C	Am
	Forgiven by a love of god, a love that wi	ll remain

	F	G	Am
			I gave my life and soul the night the savior called my name

	F	G	Am	C
			I gave my	life and soul the night the savior called...... my.....

name........
