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


[Chorus]
         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
         A7  E    A7  E       A7            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]
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


[Chorus]
              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
         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


[Verse]
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
Cause God is not persuaded by the arrogance of men


[Chorus]
           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
         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

            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
         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
