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
