Paul & Silas In Jail

Paul & Silas In Jail - Washington Phillips/Barbecue Bob/Mississippi John Hurt/Fiddlin John Carson

We must love we must love for jesus to care for us

'Cause you ought to know in him he is only trust

Whatever we desire whenever we do pray

We must have the faith and believe

That he will do just what he said

Oh paul and silas in the philippi jail they was both found

'Cause they were livin' in jesus they found him close around

When the dark hours of midnight when everything was still

Oh paul he whispered to silas to let us do our master's will

Oh silas he began singin' oh paul he entered in prayer

Then heaven it got all stirred up and an angel met them there

And jail doors all flew open and the jailer thought they was all gone

And he pulled for his sword for to kill hisself

Because they do ourselves no harm

He sprung out in the

Floor

And a light he wanted them to in gaze

He replied to paul and silas what shall I do to be saved

By paul being with christ his choosing men

Seeing that the jailer woke up in a fright

And he said that you must believe in my savior jesus christ

I'm going home going home going home on the morning train

If I happen to make it too late oh sure lord won't be my aim

I'm sleeping up this old templed body oh it's sincere prayer

Oh the place they call heaven I certainly wants to go there
