1. Welcome to OUTGOING

2. 14 I am bound both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome. Romans 1

3. 16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." Romans 1

4. Jesus! the Name high over all, In hell or earth or sky; Angels and men before it fall, And devils fear and fly. Jesus! the Name to sinners dear, The Name to sinners giv’n; It scatters all their guilty fear, It turns their hell to Heav’n.

5. Jesus! the prisoner’s fetters breaks, And bruises Satan’s head; Power into strengthless souls it speaks And life into the dead. O that mankind might taste and see The riches of His grace! The arms of love that compass me Would all the world embrace.
