The Road To Victory Starts With Praise


 
 
The Road To Victory Starts With Praise
By George Thurlow
 
In the midst of troubles,
In the darkest of the night,
Still rejoice and praise Him
Though the trial is all but light.
 
In your blackest hours
Make melody in your heart,
For the road to victory
Through praise must have its start.
 
Imprisoned by dire circumstance?
Do you feel there's no way out?
Begin to sing God's praises,
Rout the enemy with a shout!
 
Be like Paul and Silas
Singing in the Roman jail;
Rejoicing in their circumstance
And delivered without fail.
 
Though your countenance be gloomy
And the spring has left your step,
By faith if you'll just praise Him
Your spirit will resurrect.

Acts 16:25-26
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard 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 every one's bands were loosed.
