Its 35,000 Bondholders have exclusive access to Blore Hall.
Blore is the surname of:
It's Sunday morning and you struggle with the sheets
You hear the alarm kick the snooze go back to sleep
If you could only get up you would see what you were missin'
He is always there if you just take the time to listen to His
Mission His will He'll tell you what to do
Now that it's been done it's up to you to see it thorough
And then do it daily 'cause that's where it's at
It'll help you keep your life on track
It's on all day everyday kinda thing
So many times we think we got it tough
We go to church two times a year and you think that's enough
To get by with our lives and look good in others' eyes
Eventually with God we see there is no compromise
We realize how weak we really are
Without Him in your life then you won't make it very far
24-7 is the point I'm tryin to make
A daily walk with Him is exactly what it takes
