bleeding in the darkness the cell was cold and black driven to unconsciousness by the stripes upon his back he heard a voice crying out his name his mind began to clear and in the darkness paul replied silus i m here oh my brother silus 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 gonna 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 i will praise the lord i will praise the lord no matter what tomorrow brings or what it has in store i will praise the lord this may be a prison and these may be chains but still i m free free to praise his name and in tribulation my heart still sings that he is my messiah yes he is my king of kings the 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 silus praised the lord the walls began to shake chorus praise the lord
