“And Can It Be?”
Grace Community Church Congregation & Orchestra
Acts 12:6-7
Sing it. Nothing in it is offered as scripture, and the story it borrows is handled with care. One stanza retells Peter's prison rescue as the soul's release from sin; the parallel is real, so read Acts 12 and know both.✓ The conversion stanza tracks Acts 12:6-9 in the chapter's own order: bound and sleeping, light in the cell, waking, the command to rise, chains falling, following out
⚠ No passage is named anywhere in the hymn, so a singer inherits the prison scene with no address and no way to know it belongs to a persecution narrative
