5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024 Our opening prayer for this week:      Jesus, my Lord, could it be true:      A mortal man, ashamed of you?      Ashamed of you whom angels praise,      Whose glories shine through endless days?      Ashamed of Jesus? Just as soon      Let midnight be ashamed of noon.      ’Tis midnight with my soul till he,      Bright Morning Star, bids darkness flee.      Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend      On whom my hopes of heaven depend?      No, when I blush, be this my shame,      That I no more revere his name.      Ashamed of Jesus? Yes, I may,      When I’ve not guilt to wash away,      No tear to wipe, no good to crave,      No fear to quell, no soul to save.     ...
