This morning they came in to tell me
That I had a choice to make
Rechecked all the things I believed in
Or in their prison I would stay
They said that my wife wants to see me
And back home my family awaits
I fell down my knees and surrendered
But Your grace gave me strength to say
You can take away my freedom
You can take away my human rights
You can take away my family
Everything you see, even take my life
But you can't take away what I believe
The spirit go inside of me
'Cause love is free, let them do all things
To the one who rests on me, you can't take away what I believe
It's been twenty years since I came here
And now the end is so near, yeah
My wife's gone on before me
My vision of heaven oh, so clear
It told me that I'd never make it
The strain on my heart far too great
With faith I put pen into paper
My holy allegiance to state
You can take away my freedom
You can take away my human rights
You can take away my family
Everything you see, even take my life
But you can't take away what I believe
Spirit go inside of me
'Cause love is free and I can do all things
To the one who rests on me, yeah
In your hands You've rearranged me
And everything that You say, I'll hold it true
I see believers who have stood for truth
And now I, I'm taking stand for You
You can take away my freedom
You can take away my human rights
You can take away my family
Everything you see, even take my life
But you can't take away what I believe
The spirit go inside of me
Ooh
You can take away my freedom
You can take away my human rights
You can take away my family
Everything you see, even take my life
But you can't take away what I believe
Spirit go inside of me
Ooh
You can't take away what I believe
You can't take away what I believe
You can't take away what I believe
