Chorus
Paul and Silas singing praise to God in a jail in
The earth starts to shaking, the walls starts to
breaking and the doors flew open wide,
The jailer drew his sword to take his life, he thought they’d all escaped,
When a voice cried, “Wait, we’ll are still here,” he

Chorus
John was preaching by the Jordan river, the people
were turning from their sin,
Jesus came to him, went down
in the water to be baptized by him.
John said Lord you need to baptize me, I’m not the one
to do this.
Jesus said, “Permit it at this time to fulfill all
righteousness.”
