  43  by temptation less it runs<br />
  44  but she dont holler me<br />

  53  solong jesus savior<br />
  54  blind faith where the tale?<br />
  55  it dont hang proclamation<br />
  56  shes my own far thee well<br />
  57

  59  i was born to love her<br />
  60  but she knows that the kingdom <br />
  61  waits so far above her<br />
  62
  63  and i run but i race<br />
  64  but its not to fast a slim?<br />
  65  but i ll not decieve her<br />
