I Will Praise the Lord

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
Silus I'm here

Oh, my brother Silus
Paul uttered with a groan
Today I thought for sure
We were going home
And when I opened up my eyes
I look upon His face
And here we are together
In this dreadful place

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

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
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 Messiah
And He is the King of Kings

The prisoners started waking up
Singing filled their ears
Some men started swearing
While others were in tears
Suddenly it happened
There was no mistake
As Paul and Silus praised the Lord
The walls began to shake

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

I will praise the Lord
I will praise the Lord
(I, I'm gonna praise the Lord)
No matter what tomorrow brings
Or what it has in store
I know I will praise the Lord

I will praise the Lord
(Oh, I wanna praise, You, Jesus)
I will praise the Lord
(I wanna praise Your holy Name)
No matter what tomorrow brings
Or what it has in store
I know I will praise the Lord
(I know I, I'm gonna praise the Lord)

I said, I, I, I will praise the Lord
I, I will praise the Lord
No matter what tomorrow brings
Or what it has in store
I know I will praise the Lord
(I'm gonna praise You, ooh...)
