You can take away my kids
Take away my wife
You can take away my job
You can take away my life
You can take away my house
Take away my ford
But you can't take away the Lord
(Now listen, satan)
You just can't take away the church
Or the bible book
Unless you wanna waste your time
You better take a second look
Cause you can't take away my shield
Can't take away my sword
And you can't take away the Lord
Well he made me and he saved me
Ba ba ba
And I follow after
Everywhere he leads
There's peace and laughter
Laughing in the spirit
Listen and you'll hear it
You can take away the pill
And the atom bomb
Take away einstein's theories
And the things all yet to come
You could'a took away the wheel
With the dinosaur
But you can't take away the Lord
Well, he made me and he saved me
Ba ba ba ba
And I follow after
Everywhere he leads
There's peace and laughter
Laughing in the spirit
Listen and you'll hear it
You can take away the pill
And the atom bomb
Take away einstein's theories
And the things all yet to come
You could'a took away the wheel
With the dinosaur
But you can't take away the Lord
Na na na no you'll never take away
My sweet reward
Cause you can't take away the Lord
