Steven was a deacon
In Jerusalem
They dragged him out those city gates
To try and quiet him
When Steven preached those Pharisees
Started throwin' stones
Before he died he raised his eyes, and saw
Jesus on the throne
[Chorus:]
You can bury the workmen
But the work will go on
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
[Chorus:]
You can bury the workmen
But the work will go on
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
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
[Chorus:]
You can bury the workmen
But the work will go on
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
You can bury the workmen
But the work will go on
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
Yeah, you can bury the workmen
But the work will go on
