Redemption

Written by Johnny Cash

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

|F

|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
