A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Words and Music by: Martin Luther; Arrangement, Additional Chorus and Bridge by Phil Laegar SASB #1
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 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; The “Lord of Hosts” His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.
If You were not on our side, If You had not bled and died for us Jesus, what hope would there be For a wretch like me? If You were not on our side?
And though this world, With demons 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.
If You were not on our side, If You had not bled and died for us Jesus, what hope would there be For a wretch like me? If You were not on our side?
And if God is for us, Who can be against us? Who can stand against us, With You on our side?
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 for ever.
If You were not on our side, If You had not bled and died for us Jesus, what hope would there be For a wretch like me? If You were not on our side?
And if God is for us, Who can be against us? Who can stand against us, With You on our side? A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Words and Music by: Martin Luther; Arrangement, Additional Chorus and Bridge by Phil Laegar SASB #1 Used by Permission: CCLI# 1321380
