They Can't Take That Away From Me

I was on my way to work listening to a cd that I borrowed from my mom when this song came on. I know we face life’s battles and some or maybe even most of them send us to a place where we wonder how in the world am I going to get through this one. I don’t really know the answer to that because honestly we all face some type of battle – no one is exempt from Satan’s havoc in our lives. As you read this post please know that I related this in my own life. We really need to get back to the real issue at hand; do we have faith and I mean real unfaltering, unfailing faith. No and why not? Just as this song says, it doesn’t matter what this world takes from me; take my health, my money, my home, my car, my friends, my family, take my life, take it all. I’m not saying I want to lose any of those things or that those battles wouldn’t send me to a sad place, a place where I would feel I wouldn’t be rescued, but what I am saying is there is one thing they’ll never take away and that’s my Jesus. They may even take my life, but I’m going to live in glory forever, I’m going to talk to those loved ones who have gone on before me, I’m going to sit with the disciples who walked with Jesus, and I’m going to hug my Jesus and he’s going to say, “Well done my child enter in”. God’s grace and mercy go a long way, you don’t have to face those battles alone and Jesus will certainly walk with you right “through” that storm. A dear friend said this today, “Faith is not stepping out on a limb you know will hold you; it’s stepping out on a limb that you know can’t hold you”. That is so true, whoever told you life was going to be easy, no one, but no matter what you lose in this old life; there’s a better day coming and no one can take that away!!

The world may strip me of my freedom
Bind me with its chains
Health may leave my body
And be replaced with pain
They can come and get my treasures
And cause me poverty
But they can’t take it all away from me

Cuz they’ll never roll away the rock from where I stand
They can’t remove the corner stone and cast it in the sea
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God
And I’m guided by the unseen hand
And they can’t take that away from me

Death may take my dearest love ones as years of time pass by
But my father won’t forsake me
As countless tears I cry
When my final breathe is fleeing and my life runs out of days
Well I’ll lift my voice and testify in praise

Cuz they’ll never roll away the rock from where I stand
They can’t remove the corner stone and cast it in the sea
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God
And I’m guided by the unseen hand
And they can’t take that away from me
