25 “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.”

Lyrics to “That's Who I Praise”:

I wanna dance like David
I wanna faith like Paul
I wanna sing like Silas tearing down the prison walls
I wanna face that fire
It won't burn me though
God's got my back Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

I wanna walk like Moses
Right through the waves
One day I'll see that promise land, no longer slaves
Though the fear is talkin', no it can't take out my faith

I'm gonna praise
I'm gonna praise
I praise the mountain, movin' body, raising breaker of chains
Gonna praise
I'm gonna praise
I praise the heaven seated undefeated highest of names
That's who I praise, hey
That's who I praise
That's who I praise

I wanna gift like Mary
I wanna break my vase
I wanna sleep like Daniel even in a lion's cave
I'm gonna get that promise
Just like Jericho
Yeah, I know what'll make it fall

He is the lion of Judah
He is the lamb that was slain
The only One who's worthy, worthy
Worthy of all of His names
That's who I praise
He is the risen Messiah
He is the ancient of days
The only One who's worthy, worthy
Worthy of all of His names
That's who I praise

So I'm gonna praise
I praise the mountain, movin' body, raising breaker of chains
Gonna praise
I'm gonna praise
I praise the heaven seated undefeated highest of names
That's who I praise, hey
I praise the God who's proven He can do impossible things
That's who I praise, hey
That's who I praise
That's who I praise

I wanna love like Jesus
That kinda grace
I wanna live like I've got no more precious time to waste
I'm gonna give Him glory
With all my thanks
'Cause there's no greater, stronger higher name and
That's who I praise
