[Verse 1] Paul and Barnabas came To the towns with the news One heart to the poor One fire in the pews In Iconium they spoke And the room came alive Some believed in the Word Some just watched them survive [Pre-Chorus] Then they ran to Lystra Feet dusty, hands worn thin A man bound up since birth He was leaping again The crowd saw the wonder And the talk spread fast “Gods have come down!” And the whole block gasped [Chorus] Not gods, not gods Just servants of the Lord Not gods, not gods They came to open doors Stand up, rise up Let the good news run Not gods, not gods The work has just begun [Verse 2] They tore at their clothes When the people brought praise “Don’t bow to us, friend We’re made of the same clay” Then angry men came With stones in their hands Paul took the hits Still he rose again [Pre-Chorus] Back to the city gates Back to the faithful few “Hold to the grace That carried us through” They strengthened the hearts Of the small and the new Saying trials will come But the Lord sees you [Chorus] Not gods, not gods Just servants of the Lord Not gods, not gods They came to open doors Stand up, rise up Let the good news run Not gods, not gods The work has just begun [Bridge] Then came the hard debate When the law got loud “Must they wear our yoke?” The elders gathered now Peter stood and said “Why bind what God has made?” James spoke plain and clear Grace has made the way [Break] Send the letter out Let the nations hear Keep the soul clean Walk in reverent fear No heavy chain On a Gentile song The Lord writes wide And His arm is strong [Final Chorus] Not gods, not gods Just servants of the Lord Not gods, not gods They came to open doors Grace for the nations Truth that sets us free Not gods, not gods That’s the song of Acts fourteen and fifteen
