Love each other as I have loved you. " John 15:12. Thursday, September 16, 2010. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be gland in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Very good. And yours? 1 “Nzuri sana. Hujambo? Very good. How are you? 2 “Sijambo. Mzima? I’m good. Are you complete? 1 “Mzima. Nipo hatarini! 8221; And t...
