“And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.”
King James Version (KJV)

Froilan, we're unsure who founded the Church in Rome & it appears that even though Paul had written this great epistle to them, he was not the founder. He wrote this letter probably around the late AD 50s & the Church consisted mainly of Gentile converts.
Paul was anxious to minister in this Church which was widely known & their faith well reported of (Rom 1:8), so he wrote this letter to prepare them for his planned visit, which of course never materialized. That was because Paul was arrested in Jerusalem & though he was then sent to Rome as a prisoner (early AD 60s), he never got to visit the Church there. We think that Phoebe, from the Corinthian Church, may have been the carrier of his letter (16:1) to Rome. So this letter comes to instruct the believers further in their knowledge of Jesus & to encourage them to live victoriously in a heathen environment.
When examining this great letter, we see that it is more formal than his other letters, as he sets out some important doctrines, chiefly, the doctrine of Justification by Faith & its ramifications. The letter's theme is The Righteousness of God (1:16,17). He then goes on to discuss: natural revelation (1:19,20), universal sin (3:9-20), justification (3.24), propitiation (3:25), faith (chap 4), original sin (5:12), union with Christ (chap 6), election & rejection of Israel (chaps 9-11), spiritual gifts (12:3-8), & respect for the government (13:1-7).

You may have to spend some time googling gospel music Or hymns; lyrics.
I just hum the ones I can't remember well or I make up my own lyrics for the tune. It happens to everyone.

Bless the Lord Oh my soul
Magnify his wonderful name
For the glory of the Lord is mine forever
Jesus is ever the same
For the Lord has set me free
And given me liberty, to tell the world that Jesus is mine,
He has given me the wine to make my heart rejoice
And the oil to make my face to shine

There was a song that had Psalm104:15 in it during charismatic renewal. Does anyone remember the words to it? The last part of the little song was "and oil to make my face to shine".
