If Potter gets ahold of this Building and Loan, there'll never be another decent house built in this town. He's already got charge of the bank. He's got the bus line. He got the department stores, and now he's after us. Why? Well, it's very simple. Because we're cuttin' in on his business, that's why. And because he wants to keep you livin' in his slums and payin' the kind of rent he decides.

Joe, you had one of those Potter houses, didn't you? Well, have you forgotten? Have you forgotten what he charged you for that broken-down shack? Here, Ed. You know, you remember last year when things weren't going so well, and you couldn't make your payments. Well, you didn't lose your house, did ya? You think Potter would have let you keep it?

Can't you understand what's happening here? Don't you see what's happening? Potter isn't selling. Potter's buying! And why? Because we're panicky and he's not. That's why. He's pickin' up some bargains. Now, we-we can get through this thing all right. We've, we've got to stick together, though. We've got to have faith in each other!"

Because the farmer makes him go."

"Peter is tried
And Jesus is denied
Three times he is identified
Three times he fails to testify
But who am I?
...For I am guilty too
Many times this world has called me out
And I forget my God
And start to doubt--
--All I know--
Is that He died for me
On a cross at Calvary
And that He rose up on that Sunday morn
And that His sacrifice is worth all scorn
--I will face--
Pain and ridicule
Along this holy vestibule
But with God's Holy Fuel
I have the life spiritual

Rays the roof		"CHORUS
Here is the One, here is the Way
Here is the Hero of the day
Knowing all and knowing how
We die and live somehow
All of your life, you lay it on the ground
Know Unicorn Found

Perfect vision though walking by faith and not by sight
Seeing nothing, finding something there; footfalls in the dark
Looking forward to the end of this path, the Bright and Morning Star
