When burdens seem to overcome there's a higher power
Whose faithful 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

Let's sing it shout it walk it talk it
There's a higher power
Lay down your soul 'cause jesus bought it
There's a higher power

Amen amen there's a higher power
Amen amen there's a higher power

Those men have built these mighty guns
They've built these automobiles that run
But brothers and sisters mark this down
They can't build you no heavenly crown

Go tell them 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 who rest on high there's a higher power
Unless they do they'll surely die there's a higher power

Let's sing it shout it walk it talk it
There's a higher power
Lay down your soul 'cause jesus bought it
There's a higher power
