I Will Praise the Lord Songtext
von 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 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


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

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
Praise The Lord!
