"In the darkness of the catacombs, in the filth of underground sewers, in the shadows of a thousand Roman nights, these phrases were searched by tired faces. These pages were held in trembling hands. These words sent the light of hope into the hearts of God's people. It was a message straight from their Bibles. It was a message from their beloved Pastor. It was a message from God. The Jesus Christ to Whom you have given your all, the Jesus Christ in whom you have trusted, the Jesus Christ for Whom you may be called upon to die is the King of heaven – the God of Glory. God's message of hope is intended to give us songs in the darkest night."
