Sweet! First Post! I love this song. This is what got me hooked to In Fair Verona.
Anyways. I was sitting in church this morning and we were reading the Psalter lessons. The verses where 71:1-16. I couldn't help but notice the connection between the lessons and the song.
Let Me Explain.
"Rescue and deliver me. Turn your ear to me and Save me"
~~ Psalm 71:2 "Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; incline your ear to me and save me"
2 "Be My Rock of Refuge"
~~ Psalm 71:3 "Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress"
3 "Deliver me my God from the grasp of evil"
~~Psalm 71:4 "Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men"
"Do Not Forsake me when my strength is gone"
~~Psalm 71:9 "Do not cast me away when I am old;
do not forsake me when my strength is gone"
There's a couple more if you want to read them. I use bible gateway.
