Day 4 Scriptures


Running From Hell


We praise You, Lord God Almighty,
Who Was and Is and Is To Come,
You have assumed Your great power,
You have begun Your reign.

The nations have raged in anger,
But then came the day of Your wrath,
And the moment to judge the dead,
And the time to reward Your servants the prophets,
And the holy ones that revere You,
The great and small alike.

Now have Salvation and Power come,
The reign of our God and the authority of His Christ!
For the accuser of our brethren is cast out!
Who day and night accused them before the throne of God!

They defeated him by the blood of the Lamb,
And the word of their testimony
Their love for their lives did not deter them from death.

So rejoice, you heavens
And you that dwell within.

Rev 11:17-18,12:10b-12a
(taken from the Benedictine Shorter Daily Office)

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
John 15:13
