Next time, it be apreciated if you could give a complete minimal working
example, just lacking the thing you want.

Here is what I scribbled together.

//////////////
\version "2.25.1"

voiceVerse  = \context Voice = voiceVerse { \time 2/1 c'\breve }
verse = \lyricmode {
  \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \markup { \concat {
    "Not unto us, O "
    \raise #3 \center-column { \musicglyph #"scripts.ulongfermata" Lord }
    ", not unto us, // but"
  }}
}

\new ChoirStaff <<
  \new Staff { \voiceVerse }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto voiceVerse \verse
>>
