Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Cast me not away from Thy presence
Don't take your Holy Spirit away from me
Make me hear joy and gladness
I wanna be able to rejoice with Thee
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away

Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Create in me a clean heart
And renew the right spirit in me
And I'll teach transgressors Your way
Sinners shall be converted unto Thee
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away
Uphold me with thy free spirit
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away

Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your joy away

'Cause I need it, I need it
Whatever you do, Lord
Don't take your joy away
Whatever you do, Lord
