You're here inside our housesYou snuck in like the plagueYou're killing all our familiesYou're taking things awayYou tell us our God doesn't careHe lets you do these thingsBut tell me how that's justified whenHe gave you everythingYou think that if you take our prideOur God will disappearBut stand and let me tell you nowOur God will never fearSo come into our homes and tryTake all you think you needBut what we need we keep insideBeyond all earthly things Cuz we know thatChorus: You can take away the buildingsYou can take away the carsYou can take away the normalcyYou can take away what's oursYou can take away the mountiansYou can take away the the sunYou can take away societyBut He's the only oneYou can't take awayYou can't take away his loveYou can't take awayHe reigns from up aboveYou can't take awayno no, no no You can't take away(end chorus)How much can you demandOf the God who built our landHe gave up his only sonSo we can praise his holy handHe never leaves us helplessHe's with us even nowHe loves us in perfectionAnd there is no way outAnd we thank him that...(Chorus)He is our GodHe does not fearHe'll never leaveHe keeps us nearOh OhCan't take, that awayno-no, no-nonot away, not away, not awayaway, awayCan't take Him away Written September 13th, 2001 © on Sep 13 2001 10:30 AM PST, Nicole   20 • 0 • 13
