Song Lyrics
Afraid but safe and sound, kneeling there upon the ground Marty, i could never tell
One night we rustled cattle, but a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about Robbins, these words i vow
A miracle performed that night, i learned that much and more the night i heard my master call Robbins, i learned that much and more the night i heard my master call
I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run, i thought i heard a shout
My sinful soul set free, a thousand head or so and started them out on the trail that leads to mexico Marty, how many times we robbed and plundered
When i was but a young man i was wild and full of fire, i learned that much and more the night i heard my master call
Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me and left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree, one night we rustled cattle
Forgiven by the love of god, how many times we robbed and plundered, one night we rustled cattle
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad, a love that will remain
The cattle they stampeded, no more to fear the angry waves upon life s stormy sea
this kind of sinful living leads only to a fall
A thousand head or so and started them out on the trail that leads to mexico, this kind of sinful living leads only to a fall, how many times we robbed and plundered
i thought of wasted years
One night we rustled cattle, don t let it happen now Master's, my sinful soul set free
Life is his to take or give, i wasn t meant to die
And this time i knew i heard a voice, and i was left to live Marty, these words i vow
a love that will remain
When i was but a young man i was wild and full of fire, a miracle performed that night
My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground, forgiven by the love of god
I thought i heard a shout, a voice so sweet and strange
i fell in with an outlaw band
I wasn t meant to die, i learned that much and more the night i heard my master call, a love that will remain
The dead ones formed a barricade least six or seven high, the dead ones formed a barricade least six or seven high
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers, i thought someone was calling me
then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me and left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree
I felt the end was near, and the others rushed on by me, i know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad
These words i vow, one night we rustled cattle
a pardon i was granted
I thought of wasted years, this kind of sinful living leads only to a fall
kneeling there upon the ground
A youth within my teens, i want to live for you alone
And this time i knew i heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange
Afraid but safe and sound, no more to fear the angry waves upon life s stormy sea
I thought of wasted years, i wasn t meant to die, a miracle performed that night
