Don’t Take My Blessing Away
When I want to give you my heart and soul,
Please let me play an instrumental role.
As I try to make you happy each day,
Please don’t take my blessing away.
When I ask you to let me take part,
In an attempt to heal your broken heart.
If I succeed, let me say,
Please don’t take my blessing away.
When I send love from a far,
Let me come and linger where you are.
No one will attempt to make you stay,
While I’m here, don’t take my blessing away.
When I come with love that God has sent,
That love takes away the cry of lament.
I can get on my knees and pray,
God, don’t let anyone take my blessing away.
