5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024 Our opening prayer for this week:      I praise you, Lord: Above my foes      You raised my head in triumph high,      Not slow to mark my secret woes,      Nor deaf to my desponding cry.      I praise you, Lord; my heart was faint,      My feet were sinking to the grave,      But you were near to my complaint,      To hear, to heal me, and to save.      A moment, and your anger dies;      Your grace is life for evermore:      The sun may set on weeping eyes,      But joy returns when night is o’er.      In song before the Lord rejoice,      His praise let all his saints proclaim,      And still, with thankful heart and voice,      Give glory to his holy name.    ...

I will suffer naught to hide thee,      Naught I ask besides thee.     In thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me      Cannot reach me here.      Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking,      Jesus calms my fear.      Lightnings flash and thunders crash Yet, though sin and hell assail me      Jesus will not fail me.          Satan, I defy thee; Death, I now decry thee;      Fear, I bid thee cease.      Wo...
