VaShawn Mitchell - Can't Take My Joy Away Lyrics

[Chorus 1:]
Persecuted, but not forsaken.
Cast down, but not destroyed.
I have something this world can't take
Away from me.

[Repeat Chorus 1]

[Verse 1:]
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...

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2:]
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...

[Chorus 2:]
Persecuted, but not forsaken.
Cast down, but not destroyed.
I have something this world can't take [3x]
Away from me.

[Bridge:]
Can't take my joy away! [3x]
I'm a survivor! I'll make it! [2x]
I'll make it! [6x]

[Ending:]
Can't take my joy away! [Repeat several times]
