When burdens seem to overcome there's a higher power   Who's able and refusses 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 let Jesus fall there's a higher power   Amen amen there's a higher power amen amen there's a higher power   [ steel - ac.guitar ]   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   So sing and shout walk and talk...   [ steel - ac.guitar ]   These men have made these mighty guns there's a higher power   They build automobiles and run there's a higher power   The brothers and sisters mark this down there's a higher power   They can't get you no heavenly bound there's a higher power   So sing and shout walk and talk...   Amen amen there's a higher power amen amen there's a higher power
