Son of God hanging on a hill

Hell was my destiny

Could've come from these lips of mine

The dirty shame was killing me

It would take a miracle to wash me clean

And the ground began to shake

The prison walls started falling

And I became a free man that day

Breath of God filled my lungs

For God so loved the whole wide world

His arms spread wide where mine should be

Jesus changed my destiny

When the ground began to shake

The prison walls started falling
