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 1989 Shepherd Boy Musicascap.
