Poem
Adapted from Acts 16:22-31 How long have I been a jailor here, And from these men this is what I hear? In the midst of their pain they sing and pray And tell me how I must believe today. That Jesus Christ was really God’s own Son And all the things we did to Him were done So all could have Eternal Life above And live forever more in God’s great Love. What if it were true what they say Is there really more to life than day to day? I’ve worked hard and tried to do things well Is that enough to save my soul from Hell? "At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bands were loosed." At midnight that night I came awake As suddenly the ground began to quake To the broken jail I ran hastily Knowing that all the prisoners would flee. But how long have I been a jailor here? And never have I seen men so sincere, The bars were opened wide for all to flee But they were still inside praying for me. Oh! What must I do to be saved? The sentence of death for me waived? And be no more to sin enslaved? Oh! What must I do to be saved? "And they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." I believe and now I can freely say That I want Jesus as my Lord today. I believe from the grave He was raised I believe in Jesus Christ and I am saved! "And they spake unto him the Word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house." Loved ones gather ‘round and hear me tell Of all that’s happened, please, listen well. Jesus, whom we hung on a cross that day He really Is alive again like they say. He came to offer hope and life anew, Just believe it is all you have to do. By His amazing Grace He’ll save you all He’s waiting even now to hear you call. We believe and now we can freely say That we want Jesus as our Lord today. We believe from the grave He was raised We believe in Jesus Christ and we are saved!
