The World Didn’t Give It to Me (And the World Can’t Take It Away)

The world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away
The world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away
Oh, the happy face I'm wearing
You know that Jesus put it there to stay
The world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away

This smile on my face wasn't always there
The struggles use to get me down
Hassles and problems from every direction
Use to make me wear a frown
In the midst of the storm
I found a deep contentmеnt
To help me face this night and day
You see, thе world didn't give it to me
So, the world can't take it away

The world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away
The world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away
Oh, the happy face I'm wearing
You know that Jesus put it there to stay
Oh, the world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away

Let me tell you 'bout the treasures
And possessions I came into
When I put Him on the throne of my life
A conscience that's clear
And a family that loves me
An antidote for heartache and strife
The world always says
That you can't take it with you
But my riches, they all transfer okay, hey-hey
You see, the world didn't give it to me
So, the world can't take it away

The world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away
The world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away
Oh, the happy face I'm wearing
You know that Jesus put it there to stay
Oh, the world didn't give it to me
And the world can't take it away
