[Verse 1]
G#m     F#          B
There I was on death row
F#                  E
Guilty in the first degree
G#m                  B
Son of God hanging on a hill
C#m               B
Hell was my destiny

[Verse 2]
G#m                     F#    B
The crowd was shouting crucify
F#                              E
Could've come from these lips of mine
G#m                       B
The dirty shame was killing me
F#           C#m
It would take a miracle
B
to wash me clean

[Chorus 1]
B        E      B
Then I read the red letters
F#                  B
And the ground began to shake
G#m        B          E
The prison walls started falling
B                F#              B
And I became a free man that day

[Verse 3]
G#m                 F#       B
Felt like lightning hit my veins
F#                         E
My dead heart began to beat
G#m                C#m      B
Breath of God filled my lungs
F#                 B           E
And the Holy Ghost awakened me
F#          E
Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me

[Chorus 1]
B        E      B
Then I read the red letters
F#                  B
And the ground began to shake
G#m        B          E
The prison walls started falling
B                F#              B
And I became a free man that day

[Bridge]
G#m
For God so loved
F#
the whole wide world
B                             E
Sent His only Son to die for me
G#m
Arms spread wide
F#
for the whole wide world
B
His arms spread wide
E
where mine should be
B                     F#
Jesus changed my destiny

[Chorus 2]
B                   E   B
Thank You, God, for red letters
F#                         B
When the ground began to shake
G#m                        E
The grace of God started falling
B                          G#m
And I became a free man that day
B      F#         E
The prison walls started falling
B
And I am a free man today
