Redemption
Written by Johnny Cash
Published by Song of Cash Inc. ASCAP

Am

Am
From the hands it came down
Dm
From the side it came down
E
From the feet it came down
Am
And ran to the ground
Am
Between heaven and hell
Dm
A teardrop fell
E
In the deep crimson dew
Am
The tree of life grew

| C
|And the blood gave life
| G
|To the branches of the tree
| F
|And the blood was the price
| G
|That set the captives free
| C
|And the numbers that came
| G
|Through the fire and the flood
|F
|Clung to the tree
| Am
|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}

Am
From his hands it came down
Dm
From his side it came down
E
From his feet it came down
Am
And ran to the ground
