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 on to my knees and surrendered
But Your grace gave me strength to say

Chorus:
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
This miracle inside of me
Cause love has set us counter free
And I can 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 dear

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

Repeat Chorus

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 my 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
This miracle inside of me

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
This miracle inside of me

You can’t take away what I believe
You can’t take away what I believe
You can’t take away what I believe
