  • Paul and Silas bound in jail
    Got no money for to go their bail
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    Paul and Silas thought they were lost
    The dungeon shook and the chains fell off
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    Freedom's name is mighty sweet
    And one day soon we are gonna meet
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    I got my hand on the gospel plow
    Won't take nothing for my journey now
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    Only chain a man can stand
    Is that chain of hand on hand
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    Ain't no man on earth control
    The weight of glory on a human soul.
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.

    The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

    [Repeat: x3]
    The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
    Keep your eyes on the prize

    When you see a man walk free,
    It makes you dream of jubilee.

    When you see a child walk free,
    It makes you dream of jubilee.

    When you see a family free,
    It makes you dream of jubilee.

    Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on. Writer/s: SARA GROVES DP
