They can take the ten commandments off the court house walls,
They can take 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,
Through us all in jail,
But they can't take away the life he gave,
Or send my soul to hell,
Yeah, 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 preachin' in the streets,
Oh and even in the parks,
But they'll never take my Jesus out of my heart,
They can take away our right to pray,
Through us all in jail,
But they can't take away the life he gave,
Or send my soul to hell,
They can take life and bury me in a grave so cold and dark,
But they'll never take my Jesus out of my heart,
Never get Him out of my heart.
