Steven was a deacon in Jerusalem
A A7 E
They dragged him out those city gates to try and quiet him
E
When Steven preached those Pharisees started throwing stones
A A7
Before he died he raised his eyes and saw Jesus on the throne
E
He said, You can bury the workmen but the work will go on
A A7 E
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song
[Chorus]
A7 E A7 E A E
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done
A A7 E
You can bury the workmen but the work will go on
[Verse 2]
E
James was sent to Heaven at the edge of Herod's sword
A A7 E
And Peter he was crucified like his beloved Lord
E
The Roman Colosseum, the lions and the fires
A A7
The gates of hell did not prevail, they fanned those flames higher
E
Cause you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
A A7 E
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song
[Chorus]
A7 E A7 E A E
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done
A A7 E
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
[Verse 3]
E
And then they lowered Jesus, they laid Him in a grave
A A7 E
They thought that it was over, that His name would fade away
E
But Jesus wasn't listening, no, He rose to life again
A A7 B7
Cause God is not persuaded by the arrogance of men
E
So you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
A A7 E
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song
[Chorus]
A7 E A7 E A E
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done
A A7 E
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
[Verse 4]
E
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
A A7 E
And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song
[Chorus]
A7 E A7 E A7 E
When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done
A A7 E
And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
A A7 E
Yeah you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
