I Will Praise The Lord

Bleeding in the darkness
The cell was cold and black
Driven to unconsciousness
The stripes on His back
He heard a voice call out his name
His mind began to clear
And in the darkness Paul replied

Silas I'm here
Oh my brother Silas
Paul uttered with a groan
Today when they were beating us I thought
We were going home
And when I opened up my eyes
I was going to look at Jesus' face
But here we are together
In this dreadful place

But I will praise the Lord
I will praise the Lord
No matter what tomorrow brings
What it has in store
I will praise the Lord

CHORUS:
I will praise the Lord
I will praise the Lord
No matter what tomorrow brings
What it has in store
I will praise the Lord

This may be a prison
And these may be chains
Still I am free
Free to praise His name
And in tribulation
My heart still sings
He is my Messiah
Yes He is my King of Kings
Prisoners started waking up
Singing filled their ears
Some men started swearing
Others were in tears
Then suddenly it happened
There was no mistake
As Paul and Silas praised the Lord
The walls began to shake

CHORUS

Praise the Lord!
