5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024 Our opening prayer for today:      ’Tis I who should be smitten,      My doom should here be written;      Bound hand and foot in hell.      The fetters and the scourging,      The floods around you surging,      ’Tis I who have deserved them well.      The load you bore so surely,      That pressed so sorely on me,      It crushed me to the ground.      The cross for me enduring,      The crown for me securing,      My healing in your wounds is found.      Your groaning and your sighing,      Your bitter tears and dying,      With which you were oppressed—      They shall, when life is ending,      Be guiding and attending      My way to your ete...

What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
