Glory in the Midnight Hour tells the story of finding strength in worship when everything feels broken. Inspired by Paul and Silas praising God in prison, it blends R&B gospel ballad style with a full revival choir sound. What begins in chains becomes a song of freedom as the midnight hour turns into a breakthrough.
Why It Matters:
This track speaks to anyone in their darkest season. Midnight represents struggle, but through praise comes release, renewal, and freedom. The song reminds us that the power of God’s presence is not bound by time—victory can come even in the dead of night. It’s a hand-clapping, chain-breaking anthem of faith, hope, and unstoppable praise.
Song Lyrics Glory in the Midnight Hour
I was chained in my sorrow, my back against the wall,
But in the still of midnight, I heard the Savior call.
So I lifted up my praises, though the night was dark and grim—
There’s glory in the midnight hour, when I lift my song to Him.
There’s glory in the midnight hour, His power breaks the chains,
Joy comes with the morning light, His mercy still remains.
From the valley to the mountain, His victory never ends,
There’s glory in the midnight hour, when I lift my song to Him.
When the prison doors flew open, and the earth began to shake,
I knew the Lord was moving, making rivers in my wake.
So I’ll keep on singing praises, for His love will never dim—
There’s glory in the midnight hour, when I lift my song to Him.
“Do you feel the chains are breaking?”
“Yes, Lord, we do!”
“Do you hear the night is shaking?”
“Yes, Lord, it’s true!”
