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 have 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 And 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
