Lyrics
Can't Take My Joy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jealousy and anger
Greed and hypocrisy
The seasons of human nature
Can't take my joy from me
Joy Joy Joy Hallelujah
Crucified my Savior
On a hill for all to see
He rose up three days later
Can't take my joy from me
Went up on a mountaintop
Looking for the victory
I found it in the valley low
Can't take my joy from me
In this world but of this world
I will never be
I lift my eyes to glory
Can't take my joy from me
