I Will Praise The Lord



Words and Music by Ray Boltz



Bleeding in the darkness

The cell was cold and black

Driven to unconsciousness

By the stripes upon His back

He heard a voice call out his name

His mind began to clear

And in the darkness he replied,

Silas, I am here

You know my brother Silas,

Paul uttered with a groan,

Today I thought for sure

We were going home

And when I opened up my eyes

I'd look upon His face

But here we are together

In this dreadful place



CHORUS:

But I will praise the Lord

I will praise the Lord

No matter what tomorrow brings

Or what it has in store

I know I will praise the Lord



This may be a prison

These may be chains

Still I am free

Free to praise His name

In tribulation

My heart still sings

He is Messiah

He is the 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
