“A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”
Public Domain: Martin Luther (1529) (876)
This song is an amazing celebration of the beauty of our relationship with God. Our God who sent His one and only Son, without whom, we would have no hope. Extolling the infinite and matchless glory and power of God in contrast to our helplessness. What a good God we serve!
Psalm 34:8 “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!” 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!
