Saturday afternoon, listening to the musicians in the other room prepare a new song that has tremendous potential... Everlasting God.
It has these lines which fit amazingly with what we see of our Jesus in Mark 5 as He heals a little girl and a struggling woman...
You’re the defender of the weak You comfort those in needHere are the rest of the lyrics:
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord (repeat)
Our God You reign forever
Our hope our strong deliv’rer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint ..You won’t grow weary
You’re the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

The lyrics are taken from Isaiah 40:28-31Isaiah 40:28-31 [28]Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. [29]He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. [30]Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; [31]but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

The melody is singable but creative. It has a wide range and some syncopation, but most congregations should be able to pick it up fairly quickly.
