Red Letters

There I was on death row

Guilty in the first degree

Son of God hangin' on a hill

Hell was my destiny

The crowd was shoutin', "Crucify"

Could've come from these lips of mine

The dirty shame was killin' 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 fallin'

And I became a free man that day

Felt like lightnin' 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 fallin'

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 fallin'

And I became a free man that day

The prison walls started fallin'

And I am a free man today
