< Verse >

Saul was breathing murderous threats against the people of the Lord

Taking all prisoners along the way

A light from heaven come a’ flashin’ all around

Saul fell to the ground and he heard a voice say

< Chorus >

Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me

Who are you Lord, Saul exclaimed

I am the Lord Jesus it’s me you persecute

Now get yourself on up and go down the way

< Verse >

Men were traveling with Saul, stood speechless and amazed

Heard a voice but no one could they see

Saul picked himself up from that desert ground

Blind from that moment had to lead him on his way

< Chorus >

< Verse >

Ananias the disciple placed his hands on Saul

Suddenly the scales fell from his eyes

Brother Paul got up and was baptized

The church around the world rejoiced for that day

< Chorus >
