Freedom was something I never found

Trying to find six feet underground

Under the weight of all of my sin

Fighting the fight that I couldn't win

Then You rescued me

And now I can breathe

I was a dead man walking

Until I was a man walking with You

I was a blind man falling

'Til I felt the life You're calling me to

Pulling me out of the darkness and

Pulling me out of the lies

Putting the beat in my heart again

I was a dead man walking

Until You loved this dead man walking back to life

I look for the words but cannot explain

A new kind of love ran into my veins

You are the key to all of my chains

To all that I was, now I'm not a slave

Then You rescued me

And now I can breathe

I was a dead man walking

Until I was a man walking with You

I was a blind man falling

'Til I felt the life You're calling me to

Pulling me out of the darkness and

Pulling me out of the lies

Putting the beat in my heart again

I was a dead man walking

Until You loved this dead man walking back to life

I have tasted and I've seen the wonders of Your heart

I do not deserve a thing, but that's just who You are

I was a dead man walking

Until I was a man walking with You

I was a blind man falling

'Til I felt the life You're calling me to

Pulling me out of the darkness and

Pulling me out of the lies

Putting the beat in my heart again

I was a dead man walking

Until You loved this dead man walking back to life

I was a dead man walking

Until You loved this dead man back to life
