VERSE 1
Even in the prison,
Heavy chains—yet still they chose to sing.
Iron bars around them,
Darkness pressing in on everything.
Through the pain and lashes,
Still their praise went rising to the sky.
For they trusted firmly
In the God who never fails and never lies.
---
PRE‑CHORUS
At the right time—He breaks every prison.
By His power—He brings liberation.
Thunder rises—praise before His throne.
Chains are shattered—by His hand alone.
---
CHORUS
Test your God—
And you’ll see the power He displays.
If you’re tried—then sing, just sing—
For the praise that God receives
Breaks the prisons, works the wonders,
Opens doors you never dreamed.
Don’t be startled when the prison starts to shake.
Don’t you freeze when the chains fall and break.
For the Lord has heard your cry
In the middle of the night—
Your praise has reached the throne
Of Jehovah, God of might.

VERSE 2
When the Lord sets free,
It is proof His power still remains.
Do not fear—
For today the very ground will shake again.
God is with you—
Do the thing He told your heart to do.
Sing—only sing—
And the chains will break in front of you.

CHORUS (Repeat)
Test your God—
And you’ll see the power He displays.
If you’re tried—then sing, just sing—
For the praise that God receives
Breaks the prisons, works the wonders,
Opens doors you never dreamed.
Don’t be startled when the prison starts to shake.
Don’t you freeze when the chains fall and break.
For the Lord has heard your cry
In the middle of the night—
Your praise has reached the throne
Of Jehovah, God of might.
