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

And you can [A]bury the workmen but the[A7] work will go [E]on
Yeah you can [A]bury the workmen but the[A7] work will go [E]on
