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 Cylus 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 firey 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 out weigh the bad, by far
But when suffering comes along
and we still sing Him song
that is when we bless the Father's heart

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

(Coda)
God wants to hear you sing
God wants to hear you sing
