Paul and Silas in Jail

We must look, we must look

For Jesus to care for us

'Cause you oughta know in Him

He is our only trust

Whatever we desire

Whenever we do pray

We must have the faith and believe

That He will do just what He says

Old Paul and Silas

In the Philippine jail they was both bound

'Cause you oughta know in tears

They found enclosed around

When the dark hours of midnight

When everything was still

Old Paul, he whispered to Silas

Said, "Let's do our master's will."

Old Silas, he began singing

Old Paul, he entered in prayer

Then Heaven, it got all stirred up

And an angel met them there

And the jail doors all flew open

And the jailer thought they was all gone

And he pulled for his sword, for to kill himself

But Paul said, "Do thyself no harm."

He sprung out in the floor

And a light he wanted them to gaze

He replied to Paul and Silas

"What shall I do to be saved?"

By Paul being one of Christ's chosen men

Seen the jailer woke up in a fright

And he said that you must believe

In my Savior, Jesus Christ

I'm goin' home, goin' home

Goin' home on the morning train

If I happen to make it too late

Oh, it sure won't be my aim

I'm sweeping up this old, simple body

Oh, with sincere prayer

Oh, that place they call Heaven

I say I wants to go there
