| 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 |
