     ***THEY'LL NEVER TAKE MY JESUS***
They can take the Ten Commandments off the courthouse walls,

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,
They can stop our voice from preaching in the streets, even in the park,
They can take my life & bury me in a grave so cold & dark,
BUT they'll never take away the Life He gave me, they can't send my soul to Hell & they'll never ever never take my Jesus out of my Heart ! ! !
