...another poem from HEATHER VINEALL...
==THEY CAN'T TAKE AWAY MY JOY!==
They can't take away my joy...
the melody I hold inside.
They can't make my tears return,
they'll never again make me hide.
They can't put out the fire
that burns for Christ, my Lord.
They can't take my memorized verses..
Because it's what I fight my battles with, its
his words..my protection, my sword.
They can't tell me that I'm making
it all up...
because my mind can't even fathom
what He is and how...
They can't say I'm doing something
wrong..
Because I'll be with him for
eternity...
He's with me here right now.
They can't tear up his words..
because they are in my heart..
They can't tell me I can't pray in
school..
because that has whats been
tearing
people apart...
They can't tell me they don't need
Him..
because theres nothing I need
more..
They can't tell me they are their own
god...
Because I was blind and
lost before....
so scared and so
unsure..
They can't tell me I don't try...
because Jesus, yes my wonderful Jesus..
he's my life, he's my passion.
They
can't tell me that "The bibles wrong,
because its so old fashion!"
Because
His word...it's forever and always..
and so is the greatness he's poured
out...
They can't tell me that I'm crazy because I
raise my hands and shout...
just
because I'm radical, and because I'm serving,
and because he's all around!!
They won't take away my happiness,
because they've done it already,
and I
won't let it happen again..
They can't
say my God says women are
unequal..
because in his word he says
women with walk side by side with their
lover...
yes... equal are women and men.
They can't make me leave this faith...
because Jesus will fill my children
someday
also..my beautiful girl.. and
my God-fearing boy..
They can't take away my future in
heaven...
NO, they can't take away my
joy!!!
