They can take the ten commandments
Off the courthouse walls
They can even take all the manger scenes
Out of the parks and malls
They can take my Blessed Bible
Tear the pages all apart
But they'll never take my Jesus
Out of my heart

They can take away our right to pray
Throw us all in jail
But they can't take away, the life He gave
Or send my soul to hell
Yes they can take my Blessed Bible
Tear the pages all apart
But they'll never take my Jesus
Out of my heart

They can take away our liberty
To preach God's Holy Word
They can make it be against the law
If we witness door to door
Oh they can stop our voice
From preaching in the streets
Oh and even in the park
But they'll never take my Jesus
Out of my heart

Oh, they can take away our right to pray
And even throw us all in jail
But they can't take away, the life He gave
They can't send my soul to hell
Oh they can take my Blessed Bible
Tear the pages all apart
But they'll never, never take my Jesus
Out of my heart

Oh they can take my life and bury me
In a grave so cold, cold and dark
But they'll never take my Jesus
Out of my heart

Never get Him out of my heart.

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.
Psalm 28:7 (KJV)
