Dead Man Walking Lyrics

 

Song : Dead Man Walking

Artist: Jeremy Camp

Album: The Story’s Not Over

Writer: Jordan Sapp / Jeremy Camp / Emily Weisband

 

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
