Lyrics
Verse 1
Steven was a deacon in Jerusalem
They dragged him out the city gates
To try and quiet him
When Steven preached
Those Pharisees started throwing stones
But before he died he raised his eyes
Saw Jesus on the throne
He said
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
Verse 2
James was sent to heaven
At the edge of Herod's sword
Peter he was crucified like his beloved Lord
The Roman Coliseum
The lions and the fires
But the gates of Hell did not prevail
They fanned the flames higher
Verse 3
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
