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
