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.

LYRICS:

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)
