Ever felt like you were just going through the motions, weighed down by your past mistakes? Jeremy Camp's lyrics capture that feeling perfectly. He's talking about being trapped in sin and darkness, feeling like a "dead man walking." But then, he describes an incredible transformation—being rescued and given new life through love and faith. It's about finding freedom and purpose when you're pulled from lies and darkness into light and truth. The song celebrates this powerful change, where once he was lost, but now he's found—no longer a slave to his past but alive with new hope ❤️.
Dead Man Walking
Lyrics
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
