They Can't Take That Away

For every broken heart, every fallen star
Left alone to die
For every shattered dream, every silent plea
That echoes through the night
For every senseless crime, the victims and maligned
And every friend betrayed
For every hidden shame, the lonely addicts pain
It’s why He came to save

No matter what they say  
No matter how they doubt
When a greater debt is paid
A stronger love wins out
Resting in His grace
A humbled heart is changed
They can’t take that away

For every hungry soul, beggars in the cold
Find comfort in His arms
In every prison cell, the deepest, darkest hell
They’re written on His heart
For everyone alone, rejected by their own  
He knows this bitter fate
With every story told, a heartache will unfold
It’s why He came to save

No matter what we say  
No matter how we doubt
When a greater debt is paid
A stronger love wins out
Resting in His grace
A humbled heart is changed
They can’t take that away
