Beaten and cast into prison in Philippi, Paul and Silas, at midnight, sang praises unto God:
Acts 16:22-26 'And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
¶ And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
God Wants To Hear You Sing

God Wants To Hear You Sing
- Their chains were fastened tight
- Down at the jail that night
- Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed
- They said, “It’s time to lift our voice, sing praises to the Lord
- Let’s prove that we will trust Him come what may”
- God wants to hear you sing
- When the waves are crashing ’round you
- When the fiery darts surround you
- When despair is all you see
- God wants to hear your voice
- When the wisest man has spoken
- And says, “Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be”
- That’s when God wants to hear you sing
- He loves to hear our praise on our cheerful days
- When the pleasant times outweigh the bad, by far
- But when suffering comes along
- And we still sing Him songs
- That is when we bless the Father’s heart..
