Can't Take My Joy Away

Persecuted, but not forsaken.
Cast down, but not destroyed.
I have something this world can’t take
Away from me.
No matter how hard you try, you can take it
I may even have to cry, but I’ll make it.
There’s joy for my sorrows, hope for tomorrow,
I have something this world can’t take away.
I’ve been…
In the midst of my trials I will be all right
In the midst of my pain,
I know I will, I’ll survive.
There’s joy for my sorrows,
I have hope for tomorrow,
I have something this world can’t take away.
I’ve been…
Persecuted, but not forsaken.
Cast down, but not destroyed.
I have something this world can’t take
Away from me.
Can’t take my joy away!
I’m a survivor! I’ll make it!
I’ll make it!
Can’t take my joy away!
