Aaron Shust's song 'Even in My Old Age (Psalm 71)' is a direct musical setting of Psalm 71, expressing trust in God from youth through old age. The lyrics plead for God not to forsake the singer when strength fails and hair turns gray, while also committing to proclaim God's power to the next generation. The song emphasizes lifelong dependence on God as the only hope, from birth to the end of life. It naturally reflects the biblical theme of God's faithfulness across all stages of life, particularly in aging and weakness.

I have trusted in You ever since I was young
My only hope
I have leaned upon You before the day of my birth
My only hope
It was You who took me from my mother's womb
Even in my old age
Even when my hair is gray O God
Do not forsake me
Even in my old age
Even when my strength is gone
O God do not forsake
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?
Even in my old age
Even when my hair is gray O God
Do not forsake me
Even in my old age
Even when my strength is gone
O God do not forsake
Until I have proclaimed Your strength
Until I have proclaimed Your power
To another generation
To a people yet to come
Until I have proclaimed Your strength
Until I have proclaimed Your power
To another generation
To a people yet to come
I have trusted in You ever since I was young
My only hope
Even in my old age
Even when my hair is gray O God
Do not forsake me
Even in my old age
Even when my strength is gone
O God do not forsake me
O God do not forsake me
O God do not forsake
