Forever (Intro)

Forever, timeless Never ending, forever Eternal, timeless {Tonight in L.A., rapper Notorious B.I.G Was gunned down at the media party He was pronounced dead on arrival No suspects have been taken into custody} {Combs' trouble seems to continue As he turned himself in today to local police For an alleged assault and battery charge He posted bail and was released on his own recognizance} Forever, timeless Never ending, forever In my distress, I prayed to the Lord An' the Lord answered an' rescued me The Lord is for me, so I will not be afraid What can mere mortals do to me? Yes, the Lord is for me, He will help me I will look in triumph at those who hate me It's better to trust the Lord Than to put confidence in people It's better to trust the Lord Than to put confidence in Princes Though hostile nations surrounded me I destroyed them all in the name of the Lord Yes, they surrounded an' attacked me But I destroyed them all in the name of the Lord They swarmed around me like bees They blazed against me like roarin' flames But I destroyed them all in the name of the Lord The Lord is my strength an' my song He has become my victory Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do
