Run 2

I Think about the Holy Book

and the stories that are told

I think about the ones who left you

Drowning in your blood

The ones who called themselves your servants

Apostles just the same

The ones who say beside you

And swore to protect your name

The same cowards that you chose

And told to run away

But I say to you father

There's no way I would have obeyed

Chorus:

Because:.....I would have.. betrayed your command

To run and not intervene

I would have broken every law you gave

If I had seen...what they had seen

I would have stood in between the slashes

And with every whip at them smile

I would have taken the abuse, lord

Instead of letting them you defile

Ooh ooohhh ooohhh

Id Help carry your cross for miles

Oooh ooh oooh

And done or with a smile

Verse:

I think about the holy book

And your 12 apostles

How they promised you their love

How they sat and ate beside you

Mmmm...mmmm...mmmm

How could they have denied you

Chorus:

Because:.....I would have.. betrayed your command

To run and not intervene

I would have broken every law you gave

If I had seen...what they had seen

I would have stood in between the slashes

And with every whip at them smile

I would have taken the abuse, lord

Instead of letting them you defile

Ooh ooohhh ooohhh

Id Help carry your cross for miles

Oooh ooh oooh

And done it with a smile

Outro:

It was in your love

They should have believed

It was in your words

You're divinity they received

It was in your truth

And the words you spoke

You made rich in Spirit

Those who were broke

Where were they

When they made you a joke

I ,father... could have never turned away and run

Ooh ohhhh ohhhh

It is your strength

That gives me hope

Oooh- ohh ohh

It is your word

That helps me cope

Mmmmm mmmmm

I would have never ... Turned away....to...

Run.
