| There I was on death row
|
| Guilty in the first degree
|
| Son of God hanging on a hill
|
| Hell was my destiny
|
| The crowd was shouting crucify
|
| Could’ve come from these lips of mine
|
| The dirty shame was killing me
|
| It would take a miracle to wash me clean
|
| Then I read the red letters
|
| And the ground began to shake
|
| The prison walls started falling
|
| And I became a free man that day
|
| Felt like lightning hit my veins
|
| My dead heart began to beat
|
| Breath of God filled my lungs
|
| And the Holy Ghost awakened me
|
| Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me
|
| When I read the red letters
|
| And the ground began to shake
|
| The prison walls started falling
|
| And I became a free man that day
|
| For God so loved the whole wide world
|
| Sent His only Son to die for me
|
| Arms spread wide for the whole wide world
|
| His arms spread wide where mine should be
|
| Jesus changed my destiny
|
| Thank You, God, for red letters
|
| When the ground began to shake
|
| The grace of God started falling
|
| And I became a free man that day
|
| The prison walls started falling
|
| And I am a free man… today |
