[Verse1
EmCadd9G
There I was on death row

Guilty in the first degree.
EmCadd9G
Son of God hanging on a hill,
DCadd9
Hell was my destiny.
EmCadd9G
The crowd was shouting crucify,
DCadd9
Could've come from these lips of mine.
EmCadd9G
The dirty shame was killing me,
DCadd9
It would take a miracle to wash me clean.
Chorus 1GCadd9G
Then I read the red letters

And the ground began to shake.

The prison walls started falling
DEmDGCadd9
And I became a free man that day.
Verse 2EmCadd9G
Felt like lightning hit my veins.

My dead heart began to beat.

Breath of God filled my lungs
DCadd9
And the Holy Ghost awakened me.

Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me
Chorus 2GCadd9G
When I read the red letters

And I became a free man that day.

For God so loved the whole wide world

Arms spread wide for the whole wide world,

His arms spread wide where mine should be.

Jesus changed my destiny.

And I became a free man that day.

The prison walls started falling

And I am a free man today
