In the Midnight Hour, Pt. 2

I got another story, can I tell that one?

Talkin' 'bout the five wives and the five foolish virgins

When they went out to wait on the bridegroom

And you know how that story go, don't you?

The foolish ran out of oil

And the Bible said it was about midnight

When somebody cried out, "The bridegroom has come"

I got one more, I got one more

And then I'ma leave you alone

Talkin' 'bout old man Paul and old man Silas

When they was bound down in that Roman jail

Didn't have nobody that could go their bail

Now, can I imagine just a little?

I imagine old man Silas had been troubled

Ever since that jailer closed them doors

And I imagine after he had taken all he could take

He looked at Paul and told him, said

"Paul, oh, Paul

Don't you think we oughta sing a song or pray a prayer?"

And you know how it is

If you ever been in a situation where you knew

That everything was gon' be alright

But somebody else was all troubled and tore up about it?

See, Paul had been in Rome and Paul already knew

That at midnight, all of the Roman guards would go to sleep

But he knew that the God he was gon' call on never sleeps

So I'll imagine a little bit again

When Paul looked back at Silas, he told him, said

"Silas, oh, Silas

Let me tell you what we gon' do

We gonna wait till the midnight hour

When all the Roman guards go to sleep

We gonna wait till the midnight hour

When it's just Jesus, you, and me

'Cause He the only one I know

That can deliver us and save our soul"

Let's wait (Wait till the midnight)

Till the midnight (Hour)

Let's wait (Wait till the midnight)

Till the midnight (Hour)

Come on, let's wait (Wait till the midnight)

Till the midnight (Hour)

Can I say one more thing? (Wait till the midnight)

One more thing (Hour)

Sometimes I love to be in company

Then again I wants to be all alone

So I can talk to my Heavenly Father

Up in Heaven on His throne

I can call Him in the morning, noon, and night

Anytime I call Him, oh, it's alright

But I'm gon' (Wait till the midnight)

Wait, gonna wait (Hour)

I'm gonna (Wait till the midnight)

I believe I'll wait (Hour)

Until the midnight (Wait till the midnight)

Till the midnight (Hour)

Gonna wait (Wait till the midnight)

Gonna wait (Hour)

Wait till the midnight hour
