When burdens seem to overcome there's a higher power Who's able and refuses none there's a higher power Then why ask men to help you through there's a higher power They're helpless pilgrims just like you there's a higher power So sing and shout walk and talk there's a higher power Lay down your soul cause Jesus bought it there's a higher power Amen amen amen amen there's a higher power Amen amen amen amen there's a higher power Oh go tell people lost in sin there's a higher power They need not fear the works of men there's a higher power Believe in him to rest on high there's a higher power Unless they do they'll surely die there's a higher power Repeat x2 Those men have built these mighty guns there's a higher power They've built these automobiles that run there's a higher power But brothers and sisters mark this down there's a higher power They can't build you no heavenly crown there's a higher power Repeat x2
