John Bunyan
John Bunyan (/ˈbʌnjən/; baptised 30 November 1628 – 31 August 1688) was an English writer and Baptist preacher best remembered as the author of the religious allegory The Pilgrim's Progress. In addition to The Pilgrim's Progress, Bunyan wrote nearly sixty titles, many of them expanded sermons.
Bunyan came from the village of Elstow, near Bedford. He had some schooling and at the age of sixteen joined the Parliamentary army during the first stage of the English Civil War. After three years in the army he returned to Elstow and took up the trade of tinker, which he had learned from his father. He became interested in religion after his marriage, attending first the parish church and then joining the Bedford Meeting, a nonconformist group in Bedford, and becoming a preacher. After the restoration of the monarch, when the freedom of nonconformists was curtailed, Bunyan was arrested and spent the next twelve years in jail as he refused to undertake to give up preaching. During this time he wrote a spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, and began work on his most famous book, The Pilgrim's Progress, which was not published until some years after his release.

I Don't Want To Lose Your Love
by: John O'banionYour look at me and I can see the feeling's gone,
What happened to the dream we plan our future on?
You turn away and try to say what we both know,
But baby, I can't let you go... Let you go away!
'Cause...
I don't want to lose your love,
I don't want to be the one who's broken hearted,
Don't take the only love I've ever known!
I don't want to lose your love,
How could you go and stop what we have started?
Oh, baby, I don't want to be alone!
I try to hide the hurt inside so plain to see,
I never could keep secrets from you anyway.
So hard to face, I can't erase the thought of you,
Oh baby, won't you change your mind?
Change your mind and stay?
'Cause
I don't want to lose your love,
I don't want to be the one who's broken hearted,
Don't take the only love I've ever known!
I don't want to lose your love,
How could you go and stop what we have started?
Oh, baby, I don't want to be alone!
I don't want to lose your love,
I don't want to be the one who's broken hearted,
Don't take the only love I've ever known!
I don't want to lose your love,
How could you go and stop what we have started?
Oh, baby, I don't want to be alone!
I don't want to lose your love,
I don't want to be the one who's broken hearted,
Don't take the only love I've ever known!
I don't want to lose your love,
How could you go and stop what we have started?
