New Song: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

We are going to introduce another new (old) song this week! This is a hymn written by Martin Luther the German reformer. It celebrates the victory we have in Christ over evil spiritual forces by resting in Him. This is a fresh version of the hymn by Heartsong. Reflect upon these lyrics!

A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing

For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and pow'r are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

If we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side
The Man of God's own choosing

You ask who that may be
Christ Jesus it is He
The Lord of Hosts His name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle

And tho' this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed
His truth to triumph thru us

A Mighty Fortress is our God
His kingdom is forever
His kingdom is forever

If we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing.
