Red Letters

There I was on death rowGuilty in the first degreeSon of God hanging on a hillHell was my destinyThe crowd was shouting crucifyCould’ve come from these lips of mineThe dirty shame was killing meIt would take a miracle to wash me cleanThen I read the red lettersAnd the ground began to shakeThe prison walls started fallingAnd I became a free man that dayFelt like lightning hit my veinsMy dead heart began to beatBreath of God filled my lungsAnd the Holy Ghost awakened meYeah, the Holy Ghost awakened meThen I read the red lettersAnd the ground began to shakeThe prison walls started fallingAnd I became a free man that dayFor God so loved the whole wide worldSent His only Son to die for meArms spread wide for the whole wide worldHis arms spread wide where mine should beJesus changed my destinyThank You, God, for red lettersWhen the ground began to shakeThe grace of God started fallingAnd I became a free man that dayThe prison walls started fallingAnd I am a free man today
