(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin)

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, 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.
