I let you down, I played the part
I turned my back, I broke your heart
I did the things I wanted to
knew all along I was hurting you
I’m asking you to please forgive
touch my heart, I wanna live
whatever you do – please
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit away
Wash me and make me clean
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit away
Blot out all my iniquities
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit from me
Whatever you do
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit from me
I walked away from what I knew
but needed your love to make it through
I fell from grace, time and again
and mercy now is my only chance
I’m asking you to please forgive
change my heart, I wanna live
whatever you do – please
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit away
Wash me and make me clean
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit away
Blot out all my iniquities
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit from me
Oh, Lord don’t take
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit from me
Vamp Oooh, oooh…
Cast me not away from your presence
renew a right spirit in me
Don’t take your joy away from me
Don’t take your spirit from me
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit away
Wash me and make me clean
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit away
Blot out all my iniquities
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit from me
Oh, Lord…
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit from me
Everybody say:
Don’t take it, take it away
(Repeat 10x’s)
I need ya, to walk right
to talk right, to pray right
I need ya, your spirit
(Repeat 3x’s)
(Choir) Don’t take your spirit from me
Don’t take your spirit from me
