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

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
