| 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 |
