Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.
2
Not the labour of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3
Nothing in my hand I bring;
Simply to Thy Cross I cling!
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy Judgment-throne;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.

Psalms 91:1-16
[1]Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
[2]This I declare about the lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
[3]For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
[4]He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
[5]Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
[6]Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
[7]Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
[8]Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
[9]If you make the lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
[10]no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
[11]For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
[12]They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
[13]You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
[14]The lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
[15]When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
[16]I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”

Good Morning and Welcome To Fresh Morning Dew once again. The Lord has been merciful
Enough of lives of been terminated as against what is the expectancy life span
In some families, they don't cross 40, never enters 60, while some it is death of the youth and infants
Some families are so used to burial. Serial Burial ceremonies. It is a norm
From the scourge of the tongue, from the stones, from the wild beast, from the raging weather conditions, from poisoning, instruments of destruction and sudden destruction
From the thoughts of the heart of men like arrows against you, from fire disaster, natural disasters, from envy that leads to raging jealousy etc
The Lord has assured us that we will not have any portion in it , it will not come near our dwelling place
What are the things that can make us live long;
Honour thy Father and Mother so that thou may live long.
Honour thy Father and Mother so that thou may live long.
If you have been rebellious and dishonoring of parents, two things will happen.
Either a shortened life or a long troubled, miserable life, or a shortened, troubled life
Either a shortened life or a long troubled, miserable life, or a shortened, troubled life
