Redemption
Written by Johnny Cash
Published by Song of Cash Inc. ASCAP
From the hands it came down
From the side it came down
From the feet it came down
And ran to the ground
Between heaven and hell
A teardrop fell
In the deep crimson dew
The tree of life grew
|
|And the blood gave life
|
|To the branches of the tree
|
|And the blood was the price
|
|That set the captives free
|
|And the numbers that came
|
|Through the fire and the flood
|
|Clung to the tree
|
|And were redeemed by the blood
From the tree streamed a light
That started the fight
'Round the tree grew a vine
On whose fruit I could dine
My old friend Lucifer came
Fought to keep me in chains
But I saw through the tricks
Of six-sixty-six
{chorus}
From his hands it came down
From his side it came down
From his feet it came down
And ran to the ground
And a small inner voice
Said "You do have a choice."
The vine engrafted me
And I clung to the tree
{chorus}
From his hands it came down
From his side it came down
From his feet it came down
And ran to the ground
