Red Letters
David Crowder, Ed Cash
There I was on death row
Guilty in the first degree
Son of God hanging on a hill
Hell was my destiny
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
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
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
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
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
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
There I was on death row
J'étais dans le couloir de la mort
Guilty in the first degree
Coupable au premier degré
Son of God hanging on a hill

The crowd was shouting crucify
La foule s'écriait, "Crucifie-le"
Could've come from these lips of mine
J'aurais pu moi-même prononcer ces mêmes mots
The dirty shame was killing me
La honte bien crade me tuait
It would take a miracle to wash me clean
Il faudrait un miracle pour me laver
Then I read the red letters
Puis j'ai lu les paroles rouges
And the ground began to shake
Et le sol s'est mis à trembler sous mes pieds
The prison walls started falling
Et les murs de la prison se sont effondrés
And I became a free man that day
Et c'était ce jour-là que j'étais devenu un homme libre
Felt like lightning hit my veins
J'avais senti comme un éclair traverser mes veines
My dead heart began to beat
Mon cœur mort s'est alors remis à battre
Breath of God filled my lungs
Et le souffle de Dieu avait rempli mes poumons
And the Holy Ghost awakened me
Le Saint-Esprit m'avait réveillé
Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me

When I read the red letters
Puis j'ai lu les paroles rouges

Les bras grands ouverts pour le monde entier
His arms spread wide where mine should be
Ses bras grands ouverts là où les miens devraient être
