[Verse 1]
A#m G# C#
There I was on death row
G# F#
Guilty in the first degree
A#m C#
Son of God hanging on a hill
D#m C#
Hell was my destiny
[Verse 2]
A#m G# C#
The crowd was shouting crucify
G# F#
Could've come from these lips of mine
A#m C#
The dirty shame was killing me
G# D#m C#
It would take a miracle to wash me clean
[Chorus 1]
C# F# C#
Then I read the red letters
G# C#
And the ground began to shake
A#m C# F#
The prison walls started falling
C# G# C#
And I became a free man that day
[Verse 3]
A#m G# C#
Felt like lightning hit my veins
G# F#
My dead heart began to beat
A#m D#m C#
Breath of God filled my lungs
G# C# F#
And the Holy Ghost awakened me
G# F#
Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me
[Chorus 1]
C# F# C#
Then I read the red letters
G# C#
And the ground began to shake
A#m C# F#
The prison walls started falling
C# G# C#
And I became a free man that day
[Bridge]
A#m G#
For God so loved the whole wide world
C# F#
Sent His only Son to die for me
A#m G#
Arms spread wide for the whole wide world
C# F#
His arms spread wide where mine should be
C# G#
Jesus changed my destiny
[Chorus 2]
C# F# C#
Thank You, God, for red letters
G# C#
When the ground began to shake
A#m F#
The grace of God started falling
C# A#m
And I became a free man that day
C# G# F#
The prison walls started falling
C# C# G# F# C#
And I am a free man… today
