Song 5: None Can Take Away My Joy

The song describes how, no matter what, I can rejoice in Christ’s claim on me.

Verse 1

High above the earth and the heavens

Deep within the seed you have sown

Christ alone is reigning forever

You hold back the dark, you roll back the stone

Verse 2

When the foe comes prowling around me

Or masquerades as an angel of light 

Christ alone has conquered temptation

You satisfy me, you guide through the night

Chorus

Every–everything

Belongs to you my king

And all my praises be to magnify your name

Magnify, magnify, magnify your name

Verse 3

On that day, when my journey is over

My sleep leads me truly to life

Christ alone who said it is finished

You say well done, and so ends the night

Chorus

Every–everything

Belongs to you my king

And all my praises be to magnify your name

Magnify, magnify, magnify your name

Bridge

None can take away my joy

None can take away my joy

Nothing and no one

The old is long gone

The new things have come

So none can take away my joy

None can take away my joy
