Paul and Silas in Jail Songtext
von Washington Phillips

We must love, we must love
For Jesus to care for us
′Cause you ought to know in Him
He is only trust

Whatever we desire, whenever we do pray
We must have the faith and believe
That He will do just what He said

Oh, Paul and Silas
In the Philippi jail, they was both found
'Cause they were livin′ in Jesus
They found Him close around

When the dark hours of midnight
When everything was still
Oh Paul, he whispered to Silas
To let us do our Master's will

Oh Silas, he began singin'
Oh Paul, he entered in prayer
Then heaven it got all stirred up
And an angel met them there


And jail doors all flew open
And the jailer thought they was all gone
And he pulled for his sword for to kill hisself
Because they do′d ourselves no harm

He sprung out in the floor
And a light he wanted them to in gaze
He replied to Paul and Silas
"What shall I do to be saved?"

By Paul being with Christ, His choosing men
Seeing that the jailer woke up in a fright
And he said that you must believe
In my Savior Jesus Christ

I′m going home, going home
Going home on the morning train
If I happen to make it too late
Oh sure, Lord, won't be my aim

I′m sleeping up this old templed body
Oh, it sensey prayer
Oh, the place they call heaven
I certainly wants to go there
