Paul and Silas

It was grim and gloomy 
Devoid of hope for freedom
They were  bound and thrown
Into man’s maximum security 
After severe beating and humiliation 
In utter hopelessness 
But God was still saying something 
And so they did not give in to fear
But chose path of prayer and praise
And God who relishes the praises of His children 
Swung into action with an earthquake 
Rocking the maximum security prison 
To its foundation and unto freedom 
For Paul and Silas
Whatever is your situation today 
Do not despair or give up
For even when He is silent 
God is still saying something 
Take the route of prayer and praise
They never fail to attract His attention 
Nor His saving Grace
