Steven was a deacon in Jerusalem |
|
They dragged him out those city gates to try and quiet him |
|
When Steven preached those Pharisees started throwing stones |
|
Before he died he raised his eyes and saw Jesus on the throne |
|
He said, You can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song |
|
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done |
|
You can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
James was sent to Heaven at the edge of Herod's sword |
|
And Peter he was crucified like his beloved Lord |
|
The Roman Colosseum, the lions and the fires |
|
The gates of hell did not prevail, they fanned those flames higher |
|
Cause you can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song |
|
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done |
|
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
And then they lowered Jesus, they laid Him in a grave |
|
They thought that it was over, that His name would fade away |
|
But Jesus wasn't listening, no, He rose to life again |
|
Cause God is not persuaded by the arrogance of men |
|
So you can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song |
|
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done |
|
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song |
|
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done |
|
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
|
Yeah you can bury the workmen but the work will go on |
