            The Master’s Call
Marty Robins 


[Verse 1]
     D                           Bm
When I was but a young man,I was wild and full of fire
  D                                  Bm
A youth within my teens, but full of challenge and desire
  D                              Bm
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad
  G                    A                 Bm
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy went bad
 

[Verse 2]      
    D                                   Bm
I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well
   D                                  Bm
How many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell
   D                                 Bm
This kind of sinful living, leads only to a fall
   G               A                  Bm
I learned that much and more the night I heard my Master's call


[Pre-chorus]       
 G                D         G                D
One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so
    G                D                 Bm
And started then out on the trail that leads to Mexico
       G               A           D                 G
When a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about
  D                   G             A                 D
I thought someone was calling me, I thought I heard a shout


[Chorus]    
     D                                   F#m
Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me
    G                                  D
And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree
     Bm                             Em
This time I knew I heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange
  F#m                                Bm
A voice that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name


[Verse 3]    
   D                                  Bm
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done
   D                                 Bm
I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run
   D                                Bm
The cattle they stampeded, were running all around
   G                A             Bm
My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground


[Pre-chorus]   
  G               D          G                 D
I felt the end was near, that death would be the price
  G              D                        Bm                 
When another bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ
  G                A             D               G
And I cried oh Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now
   D                G             A              D 
I want to live for you alone, Oh God these words I vow


[Chorus] 
  D                               F#m
My wicked past unfolded and I thought of wasted years
   G                              D
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers
   Bm                            Em
And the others rushed on by me and I was left to live
   F#m                    Bm
The Master had a reason,life is his to take or give

   
[Verse 4]
   D                           Bm
A miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die
    D                            Bm
The dead ones formed a barricade nearly six or seven high
    D                            Bm
And right behind it there was I, afraid but safe and sound
   G                   A           Bm
I cried in vain for mercy kneeling there upon the ground

  
[Verse 5]
   D                       Bm
A pardon I was granted, my sinful soul set free
   D                       Bm
No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy seas
   D                       Bm
Forgiven by the love of God, a love that will remain
   G               A                  Bm
I gave my life and soul the night the Saviour called my name
