A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Songtext
von Emu Music

A mighty fortress is our God
A stronghold never failing
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And, armed with vicious hate
On earth is not his equal
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
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 He must win the battle

And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God has 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
One little word shall fell him


That Word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them does still abide
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Jesus Christ who's at our side
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill
God′s truth is living still
His kingdom is forever
His kingdom is forever
His kingdom is forever!
