lyrics

HE CANNOT TAKE ME By Dan Blakeslee

At times I think he's got my tongue when night takes the radiant sun.
The devil cannot take my soul away.

Though my thoughts are sometimes dark, the deepest black without a spark. The devil cannot take my soul away.

His silent armies and his spies will not get behind my eyes.
The devil cannot take my soul away.

Tonight his spell lies in the air. My goodness flanks his brooding glare.
The devil cannot take my soul away.
