Jailhouse Rocks (Bible version)
Thanks Christina for sharing your song with us!!
(To the tune of “Jailhouse Rock”)
Words by Christina Paige Brooks c.2007
There was a little earthquake at the county jail.
The guard, he came a-runnin’ and began to yell.
The chains were all broken and the stones were down.
He knew he’d rather die than chase them all over town.
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock.
Everybody on the whole cell block,
Is prayin’ while the jailhouse rocks.
All of a sudden he heard a cry,
“Man, whatcha doin’ you don’t want to die.
All of us are here and we’re goin’ nowhere,
And we’ve got an awesome story that we’d like to share.”
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock.
Everybody on the whole cell block,
Is prayin’ while the jailhouse rocks.
“My name is Silas and this here is Paul;
We both believe Jesus and we answered His call.
He’s the Son of God and He loves you so good.
Just believe in Him like you know you should.”
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock.
Everybody on the whole cell block,
Is prayin’ while the jailhouse rocks.
“Guys, thanks for stayin’ ‘cause ya saved my job;
Now I believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
Come and meet my family and stay in my home.
This good news that you shared is far better than gold!”
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock.
Everybody on the whole cell block,
Is prayin’ while the jailhouse rocks.
Now we’re the kids of (insert name of church) and we’re standing so tall.
We believe in Jesus and we’ll answer his call.
He’s the Son of God and He loves us so good.
Just believe in Him like you know you should.”
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock.
Everybody on the whole cell block,
Is prayin’ while the jailhouse rocks.
We’re prayin’ while the jailhouse rocks!
