Don’t Take Your Love Away
[Verse 1]
So lost, at times I feel like I'm all alone
Like I'm down here all by myself
Tell me, when You're coming back to take me home
Father, I've been told that the streets are paved with gold
And the lion lays with the lamb
They say it'll be nothing like I've ever known
And when I get there

[Pre-Chorus]
All of my burdens, I can't wait to lay them down
My Savior, can't wait to see You in that sweet old by and by

[Chorus]
The clock is ticking, we're running out of time
What I've been living for is finally about to be mine
That's why I'm gonna be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me
Every day, every night, that's why I'm living to seek Your face
You're the one thing in my life that I can't replace
That's why I've got to be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me

[Verse 2]
And when it gets hard, I still maintain my faith
The harder the trials come, I still get on my knees and pray
And say thank You
I know the road will get rough, the sea will get stormy
But if I keep my eyes on You
I know You've prepared a place for me
And Your word says it's true, and when I get there
[Pre-Chorus]
All of my burdens, I can't wait to lay them down
My Savior, can't wait to see You in that sweet old by and by

[Chorus]
The clock is ticking, we're running out of time
What I've been living for is finally about to be mine
That's why I'm gonna be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me
Every day, every night, that's why I'm living to seek Your face
You're the one thing in my life that I can't replace
That's why I've got to be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me

[Bridge]
And ooh, gonna do what I have to do
To make it in, and ooh
I don't wanna be left down here when You go

[Chorus]
The clock is ticking, we're running out of time
What I've been living for is finally about to be mine
That's why I'm gonna be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me
Every day, every night, that's why I'm living to seek Your face
You're the one thing in my life that I can't replace
That's why I've got to be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me
The clock is ticking, we're running out of time
What I've been living for is finally about to be mine
That's why I'm gonna be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me
Every day, every night, that's why I'm living to seek Your face
You're the one thing in my life that I can't replace
That's why I've got to be everything You want me to be
Don't take Your love from me
