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

(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...

So sing and shout...
