Take the leaven from the bread – take the grapes from the wine
Take the blossom from the last living branch – pull the roots from the vine
‘Cause if you take Jesus from me, how could I live?
How could I move? Who would I be?
You may as well take back the breath from the dust if you take Jesus…
If you take Jesus from me.
Take the water from the well – take the rivers from the sea
Put a desert in their place – put a desperate thirst in me
Take the stars from the eastern sky – take the lamp that lights my way
‘Cause surely I’m forever lost in the dark
without the One who makes the sunrise every day
