Music: Red Letters by Crowder

This fall, I've been loving the new Crowder song, Red Letters.

Crowder shared on Multitracks.com, "'Red Letters' is a moving testimony of the way Jesus has freed us from our sin and shame. It utilizes significant imagery as it walks through our desperation to the moment when Jesus took our place on the cross and we received His gift of salvation." Red letters bring to mind that the words of Christ are written in red in the Bible.

Here are the beautiful lyrics:

RED LETTERS

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 prison walls started falling

And I became a free man that day

The prison walls started falling

And I am a free man today
