The Word Grew Mightily

INTRO (drums and guitar riff) VERSE 1 In Ephesus Paul found some disciples, "Did you receive the Spirit when you believed?" "We've never heard there is a Holy Spirit." He baptized them in Jesus, and they received. Two years he reasoned in Tyrannus' hall, Till all of Asia heard the word; God did extraordinary miracles, And the name of Jesus was preferred. VERSE 2 Seven sons of Sceva tried the name, "We adjure you by the Jesus Paul preaches!" The evil spirit said, "Jesus I know, And Paul I know, but who are you?" The man leapt on them, they fled naked and wounded, And fear fell on the city that day; And those who practiced magic arts Brought out their books and burned them all away. CHORUS So the word of the Lord grew mightily, Grew mightily, and prevailed! No spell, no shrine, no silver idol Can stand when His word is hailed. Fifty thousand pieces of silver Went up in the flame; The word of the Lord grew mightily In the power of His name! BRIDGE (crowd chant, choir) Great is Artemis! Great is Artemis! (two hours they cried) Great is Artemis! (lead, over them) But gods made with hands are no gods at all, And every idol of this age will fall. FINAL CHORUS (full choir and band) OUTRO Grew mightily, and prevailed.
