Text: Kirk Franklin. Don't Take Your Joy Away.

Words & Music by Kirk Franklin

Don't take Your joy away
Don't take Your joy away
I know that I have done wrong
But, I'm asking You
As I sing this song
Don't take Your joy away

REPEAT TWICE

CHORUS
Don't take it
I can't make it
I've tried it
I can't live without it

REPEAT CHORUS

Restore unto me the joy of my salvation
Make me Jesus a new creation
Shake me and make me
Hold me and mold me
Choose me and use me
Chastise me, revive me
