Persecuted, but not forsaken. Cast down, but not destroyed. I have something this world can't take Away from me. No matter how hard you try, you can take it I may even have to cry, but I'll make it. There's joy for my sorrows, hope for tomorrow, I have something this world can't take away. I've been... In the midst of my trials I will be all right In the midst of my pain, I know I will, I'll survive. There's joy for my sorrows, I have hope for tomorrow, I have something this world can't take away. I've been... Persecuted, but not forsaken. Cast down, but not destroyed. I have something this world can't take Away from me. Can't take my joy away! I'm a survivor! I'll make it! I'll make it! Can't take my joy away! [Repeat several times]
