Save him a seat    
in the church, next to you
Then stand back an' see
what the Lord's gonna do!
Jes' like He answered
the prayer of Ole Paul,
When he was in prison,
an' chained up an' all.

(chorus)
Oh, save him a seat;
       save him a seat!
Keep on a-trustin'
an' save him a seat!
       Save him a seat!
        save him a seat!
Keep on a' prayin'
an' save him a seat!

He wrote to his friends
an' said, "As you all pray,
God will release me --
this could be the day!"
Get a room ready,
an' keep it fer me.
God answers prayers,
an' I'll soon be set free!

(chorus)

Well, Paul knew jest what
he was talkin' about;
He kept trustin' God,
an' had never a doubt.
So you keep on prayin'
an' don't you ferget --
God still answers prayers,
an' He's listenin' yet.

(chorus)

Get that seat ready,
tho' your dear one's away;
One day he'll be free,
an' this could be the day!
The Lord opens prisons
when His younguns call,
An' He'll answer your prayers
like He did for Ole Paul!

(chorus)
Oh, save him a seat;
       save him a seat!
Keep on a trustin'
an' save him a seat!
        Save him a seat;
         save him a seat!
Keep on a' prayin'
an' save him a seat!

(Believe it or not, I have my own
private tune to this, and to me,
it's a folk song.  Sorry I have no
knowledge of music, so I can't
share it with you. (  ;  Lucky you!)
