Spirits crying in the darkness that
Salvation is at hand
Proclaiming to the captives
The day of the Lord
Songs in the night cause
Doors to open
Chains to fall off
Veils to tear down
Foundations to be shaken
And earthquakes
Prisoners are set free
And escape by
Staying put and
Singing along-
Where else to go?
There was the word of life
They could not save themselves
In death’s despair
One calls for enlightenment
Basin and towel
And he is baptized
With all his people
And the day is come
And the powers set loose
The prisoners no longer theirs
But they only go out
As citizens led by those
Captive to their prison
Save yourself
And one will be saved
Be saved by captivity
And lead others to salvation
~Acts 16
