Unspoken - Bury the Workmen Lyrics
Steven was a deacon in JerusalemThey dragged him out those city gates to try and quiet himWhen Steven preached those Pharisees started throwing stonesBefore he died he raised his eyes and saw Jesus on the throneHe said, You can bury the workmen but the work will go onAnd you can silence the voices but you can't stop the songWhen the Spirit's moving, His will will be doneYou can bury the workmen but the work will go onJames was sent to Heaven at the edge of Herod's swordAnd Peter he was crucified like his beloved LordThe Roman Colosseum, the lions and the firesThe gates of hell did not prevail, they fanned those flames higherCause you can bury the workmen but the work will go onAnd you can silence the voices but you can't stop the songWhen the Spirit's moving, His will will be doneAnd you can bury the workmen but the work will go onAnd then they lowered Jesus, they laid Him in a graveThey thought that it was over, that His name would fade awayBut Jesus wasn't listening, no, He rose to life againCause God is not persuaded by the arrogance of menSo you can bury the workmen but the work will go onAnd you can silence the voices but you can't stop the songWhen the Spirit's moving, His will will be doneAnd you can bury the workmen but the work will go onAnd you can bury the workmen but the work will go onAnd you can silence the voices but you can't stop the songWhen the Spirit's moving, His will will be doneAnd you can bury the workmen but the work will go onYeah you can bury the workmen but the work will go on
