'Even in My Old Age (Psalm 71)' [Official Lyric Video]

Aaron Shust’s song "Even in My Old Age (Psalm 71)" is one of 10 Psalms on his 10th full-length album entitled Heaven + Earth.

STORY BEHIND THE SONG
The writer of Ecclesiastes describes the advancing of age and the graying of one's hair as like a blossoming almond tree. Hence, the fields of Israeli almond trees in this video.

For a long time, Psalm 71:18 has been a favorite verse for Sarah & I. A prayer that even as we grow older, in a world where youth is often glorified over age, experience, and wisdom, God would still use us, speak through us, however He would see fit. It was obviously the prayer of the Psalmist as well.

VERSE 1
I have trusted in You
Ever since I was young
My only hope (v5)
I have leaned upon You
Before the day of my birth (v6)
My only hope. (v5)

PRE-CHORUS
It was You who took me from my mother’s womb (v6)

CHORUS
Even in my old age
Even when my hair is gray O God
Do not forsake me (v18)
Even in my old age
Even when my strength is gone
O God do not forsake (v9)

VERSE 2
From the heart of the earth
You have redeemed my soul
Who is like You God?
You take me down to the depths
But You revive me again
Who is like You God? (v20)

BRIDGE
Until I have proclaimed Your strength
Until I have proclaimed Your power
To another generation
To a people yet to come (v18)

I am 75. Though my body grows weak He has never left me. With each breath He grows in my heart!

[debralutmer]

Just turned 70, hair is gray kidney failure stage 4 and liver also. Drank in my younger years. Lost my husband in 1999 from a car accident. But he has sustained me every moment of my life. In me unbelief he has healed me day by day. ❤️👑

[GIAOHAN]

Four years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. Today, I’m alive and cancer free, serving Him. He is truly the God of a million miracles. Thank you Jesus! I love you.

[annec]

Lord, my hair is very grey now, more white, but I know you love me still despite my failures, even in my old age. Thank you Loving Father. Amen.

[shenaprice]

This is my favourite song of the season.
I feel I am coming out of winter, I am age 73.
My husband of 52 years of marriage anniversary of his death will be two years on the 1st September 24 .

I miss him terribly. But the Lord is moving me into a spring season.
I am applying to go to a Christian Bible College for three months . As a mature Student. to learn how to go deeper in the Lord to be of some use in the coming of the End Time Harvest that is being prepared.
This song says it all for me. Thank you Aaron Shust for recording this.
You are a truly blessing . ❤

[terinolet]

Shalom. I am 73 and surrendered my life to Yeshua March 4th, 1973. The road has been rough but I never looked back and my faithful Abba has never ceased to carry me through the dark times when I could not walk or see the path in front of me.

This Psalm is one of my favorites. Thank you for putting it to song. Also your song about Israel asking " how long oh God, how long?"
is so timely and expresses the absolute cry on the Messianic heart. The timing of the release of that song was so prophetic. Thank you so much for your obedience in your ministry. You are a blessing in the hands of Adonai.

[raquelgonzalezm]

When my Mom was pregnant with me, she had complications where her life and mine were in danger. But God had a beautiful purpose for my life. I was born by C Section in the 8th month and by the grace of God without complications. I accepted Jesus when I was 9 years old, got baptized at 13 and now I’m almost 70 serving the Lord, and He has been faithful and blessed me all these years. Praise be to Him.!!

[johnkennedy]

To, anybody who’s reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. For more than 20 years I had several operations and had a lot of pain the doctors gave up on me, they said that I must get a donor but You did not give up on me. You healed my kidney issues. Thank You, for the miraculously healing of my kidneys. Amen

[WellaWally]

I sing this on a daily basis.
I just turned 63.
I love my gray hair.
Well, it’s still black and grey.
And the part I live the most is:
“It was You who took me from my mother’s womb.”

God bless this wonderful young man, Mr. Aaron Shust.

[Fraevo]

When I got saved in 1983 at the age of 19 the Lord ministered to my heart through some incredibly anointed blessed music. I backslid horribly from 1987 to very recently and this music is ministering to my heart deeply as I’m a few weeks away from turning 60 years old

[karenhope]

I am 74 and counting on His healing and love.

[asternoor]
