Can't Take My Joy Away - Vashawn Mitchell

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!
