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