It's Faith Not Religion

Marty Robbins has been a favorite of mine for many years so when I was expanding my musical library in the 70’s I bought several of his albums.  Among the most successful of his albums are the Gunfighter Ballads.  While playing one of those albums one song touched me like none other—The Master’s Call.
 Like the young rustler there had been a period in my life when I fell in with the wrong crowd and was on the fast track to ruin.  Though not as dramatically as in the song the time came when I reached out to God and he answered—changing everything in my life as well as me.
 There a lot of hymns and gospel songs out there that speak to my faith, but none reach as deep into my soul or memories as this one.  In an instant it takes me back to the moment I cried out for help and his loving arms reach out to save and protect me from further harm.
 I’m not what one would call a religious person in the go to church regularly and all that, but my faith is strong.  Hearing the song again just recently brought tears to my eyes as I remembered that fateful night and I thought of all the blessings since I had started to take for granted.  I stopped immediately and gave thanks for each one and for that long ago night when I also heard The Master’s Call
