When we read " 5 The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward. 6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting. 7 But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint,...

Lyrics to "Everlasting"
PSALM 41
Blessed is the one
Who cares for the helpless
The Lord will rescue them
In times of distress
Blessed be the one
Who knows that the Lord sustains
The Lord, my Lord, upholds them
And knows all their pain
Chorus
Your life is our life
Your suffering our suffering
Your death is our death
And your resurrection
Is our resurrection
From everlasting to everlasting
Amen
O Lord have pity on me
In your presence forever
My enemies say terrible things
that I will disappear”
Even the friend I trusted
Has now begun to wander
But You heal me when I sin
And You defend my honor
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen
