Imprisoned for 26 years was the man playing the guitar, and his inmates sang along with him.
“Praise You In This Storm”
Four prison inmates sang “Praise You In This Storm,” a song by Casting Crowns. The video showed that the song was sang wholeheartedly.
The lyrics goes:
And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
You heard my cry to You
And raised me up again
But my strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You?
Man Imprisoned For 26 Years
The man playing the guitar has been imprisoned for 26 years, but he set to be released in two years. The song meant so much to him, he’s taught it to all the other inmates.
Additionally, God behind bars wrote, “Whenever he felt lost, alone, and wanted to give up, he would play this song and worship. It gave him hope in Jesus; it gave him strength to carry on! And then, he taught the other men to sing this song when they feel the same. God is using the incarcerated to shine a bright light of hope.”

He may have been imprisoned for 26 years, but his soul is finally free!
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed” (Isaiah 61:1, NLT).
God Behind Bars
“Since 2009, God Behind Bars has partnered with churches around the country to transform the lives of prison inmates and their families. Most prisoners—as many as 92% of all incarcerated individuals—will be released back to society at some point, and 75% of them will return to prison within three years. We address this problem with a unique three-step approach that focuses on the physical, spiritual, and relational needs of inmates and their families.
“By inviting God into prison and showing His love in tangible ways, God Behind Bars is restoring lives, building faith, fighting addictions, reconnecting families, and giving thousands of inmates hope for the future.” – God Behind Bars
