You Can't Take My Joy

You can take my home and all the money in the bank

Turn my reputation into something that I ain't

You might take my job and everything that I have left

But devil let me tell you, you can't have my happiness

You might make it hard sometimes

But you can't take my peace of mind

My faith is anchored in the Lord

I won't let it get me down

Though you might shake me to the ground

I got news, so listen here, oh boy

You can't take my joy

I read about a man named Job, you put him to the test

And how you couldn't keep him down although you tried your best

I may not be as strong as him, but I know how to pray

And that same God that helped old Job is here with me today

You might make it hard sometimes

But you can't take my peace of mind

My faith is anchored in the Lord

I won't let it get me down

Though you might shake me to the ground

I got news, so listen here, oh boy

You can't take my joy

I don't count my riches by the things that this world holds

Jesus is the reason for the joy down in my soul

You might make it hard sometimes

But you can't take my peace of mind

My faith is anchored in the Lord

I won't let it get me down

Though you might shake me to the ground

I got news, so listen here, oh boy

You can't take my joy
