This week's Theme: Hard Pressed

Day 1: I Will Not Die But Live

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; He brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The Lord is with me; He is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord  than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord  than to trust in princes.

I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation.

Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things! The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”

I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done (Psalm 118:1, 5-9, 15-17).

Jesus, my Lord, my life, my all,

In Thee I trust, in Thee I hide;

I know Thou wilt not let me fall

If I stay by Thy side.

Refrain:

In Thy dear hands of love I lay,

Fulfill Thy purposes in me;

Teach me to say from day to day,

Thy will be done in me.

The storms of life are fierce and dark,

And hosts of Satan press me hard;

But still Thy strength can keep my bark,

Though broken and sin-scarred.

Though hard the cross, the burden great,

And I so weak, so poor, undone;

Yet on Thy side I’ll stand and wait,

Till victory is won.

The battle, Lord, is Thine, and we,

Though foe may kill us; yet I see

Thy blood sets poor dead captives free,

Though fierce the war may be.

~ S. L. Sonubai Keskar, 1908
