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 power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did 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:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That Word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours

Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.

This song brings me confidence and comfort to know that my God is my Might Fortress that however enemies rage against me He will not leave me alone because if it were not Him I could have been torn into pieces. Amen

What a precious gift to the world to be able to hear this song. Oh bless these people, dear heavenly father.

This song is indeed uplifting. It offers hope at all times and especially in times of despair. Indeed, Martin Luther knew that though the Church was against him, but indeed, God was beside him, supporting Him in truth and not tradition. Thanks. Amin, Amin.

This song gives a balanced view of the statuses of God, Jesus and Satan. It is childish to underestimate Satan and tragic to underestimate God and Jesus' rulership and dominion over the devil. God wishes us to know His power and likes to reveal himself to us for our good but Satan likes to hide and do as if he does not exist. He masqurades as angel of light. A child of God needs to know the potentials of God and of Satan to be safe.This song clearly states the means by which we can overcome the enemy -Satan, it is through the WORD.The WORD made flesh.
