Lyrics
Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC [Chorus – Full Choir, Tight Unison] The jailhouse lost the beat The jailhouse lost the beat Paul and Silas praised With chains around their feet Locked in the midnight Guarded at the door But when the praise went up The whole foundation moved The jailhouse lost the beat The jailhouse lost the beat When heaven joined the rhythm The chains fell at their feet [Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies] They didn't wait for morning They didn't wait for light They gave God glory In the middle of the night Backs still hurting Doors still closed But praise kept rising And the building shook Praise in the prison Praise in the pain Praise till the shackles Could not remain [Chorus – Choir Snaps, Unexpected Brass Hits] The jailhouse lost the beat The jailhouse lost the beat Paul and Silas sang And freedom found the key Every door opened Every chain fell loose The keeper came trembling Saying, "What must I do?" The jailhouse lost the beat The jailhouse lost the beat When heaven joined the rhythm The chains fell at their feet [Bridge – Rhythmic Choir Changes] Locked down Still praising Beat down Still praising No way out Still praising Midnight hour Still praising The earth started moving The doors opened wide The same praise that freed them Saved the keeper's life Don't hurt yourself We're all still here God shook the prison And delivered the fear [Repetitive Run – Deep Pocket Groove] At midnight They praised At midnight They prayed At midnight The ground began to move At midnight Chains fell At midnight Doors swung At midnight The whole house knew Shake it Shake it Shake the prison floor Open Open Open every door Chains down Chains down Chains on the ground Praise went up And freedom came down Still singing Still singing Still praying Still praying God moved God moved The jailhouse lost the beat [Choir Run – Tight Vocal Changes] One praise One sound One quake Chains down One song One night One God Made it right Doors open Hands free The keeper asked "What must I believe?" Believe on the Lord And your house shall be saved Midnight turned Into a brand-new day [Outro – Smooth Choir Resolution] They entered the prison But praise held the key They entered in chains But walked out free The walls started shaking The doors could not stay When Paul and Silas praised God made a way The jailhouse lost the beat The jailhouse lost the beat [Final Choir Hit] Chains down!
