[C#m] [A] I learned that much [B] and more the night [C#m] I heard my master call.
[A] One night we [E] rustled cattle, [A] a thousand head [E] or so,
[A] And started them [E] out on the trail [C#m] that leads to Mexico.
[A] But a norther [B] started blowin' [E] and lightning [B] flashed about.
[E] I thought someone [A] was callin' me, [B] I thought I [E] heard a shout.
[G#m] [A] And left there was a giant cross, for [E] once there was a tree.
And this time I knew I [C#m] heard a voice, a [F#m] voice so sweet and strange.
A [E] voice that came from everywhere, [C#m] a voice that called my name.
[B] So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds [C#m] I'd done.
[E] I failed to see the thousand head [C#m] of cattle start to run.
[E] The cattle they stampeded [C#m] were running all around.
My [A] pony ran [B] but stumbled [C#m] and it threw me to the ground.
[A] I felt the end [E] was near, [A] that death would be [E] the price.
[A] When a mighty [E] ball of lightning [C#m] showed the face of Jesus Christ.
[A] And I cried, oh [B] Lord forgive me, [E] don't let it happen now.
I wanted [A] it for you [B] alone, oh God.
[E]
[G#m] [A]
[E] [C#m] And the others rushed on by me, [F#m] and I was left to live.
[E] The master had a reason, life [C#m] is his to take or give.
A miracle [E] preformed that night, [C#m] I wasn't meant to die.
[E] The dead ones formed a barricade, [C#m] at least six or seven high.
[E] Right behind it there was I, [C#] afraid but safe and [A] sound.
I cried and begged for mercy, kneeling [C#m] there upon the ground.
[E] A pardon I was granted, [C#m] my sinful soul set free.
[E] No more to fear the angry [C#m] waves upon life's stormy sea.
[E] Forgiven by the love of [C#m] God, a love that will reign.
[A] I gave my [B] life and soul [C#m] the night the Savior called my name.
