Couplet 1

There I was on death row
Guilty in the first degree
Son of God hanging on a hill
Hell was my destiny

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

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

Couplet 3

Felt like lightning hit my veins
My dead heart began to beat
Breath of God filled my lungs
And the Holy Ghost awakened me

Tag

Yeah the Holy Ghost awakened me

Refrain

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

Pont

For God so loved the whole wide world
Sent His only Son to die for me

Pont 2

Arms spread wide
For the whole wide world
His arms spread wide
Where mine should be
Jesus changed my destiny

Refrain 2

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

Tag

The prison walls started falling
And I am a free man today
