[Verse 1]
There I was on death row
Guilty in the first degree
Son of God hanging on a hill
Hell was my destiny

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 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
Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
