Paul and Silas

They were caught in town preaching The Word And oh such anger had this always stirred The magistrates soon had the two taken away As they were stripped and harshly whip that day Led away all bond in chains to be thrown in jail Such force upon two men who seemed to be so frail And their jailer, oh! he was certainly a very mean one Placing them in the inner most jail so as no chance to run There they were in that dark cell so beaten and still bound When just around midnight there came a glorious sound These two men began to sing out in such Godly praise For they were still seeing all the Glory of His Ways And all those others prisoners they also heard Such peace and calm before the earth soon stirred For suddenly the whole ground began to rattle and shake As all the doors and chains opened during this mighty earthquake Well by this time that mean old jailer had awoke With every door open the terror in him this would evoke So to kill himself he grabbed a big sword that was near When Paul quickly cried out, "wait, we're still here He loudly cried out in falling down upon his knees Asking them how to follow Jesus with loud sobbing pleas And then that jailer led Paul and Silas outside And those two men never did end up being tried Acts 16:22-30
