A Mighty Fortress

{title: A Mighty Fortress}

{start_of_verse}
[G]A mighty fortress is our God,
[C]a stronghold never failing

[G]Our Helper in the midst of the flood,
[C]and through our trials prevailing

[D]But still our [Em]ancient [C]foe,
[D]he seeks to [Em]work us [C]woe.

[Em]the devil's power may be great
[Bm]He’s armed with awful cruel hate

[D]On earth is not his,
[C]On earth is not his [Em]equal  [D]

{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse}
[G]Did we in our own strength confide,
[C]our striving would be losing

[G]Were not the right Man on our side,
[C]the Man of God’s own choosing

[D]You ask who [Em]that may [C]be?
[D]Christ Jesus, [Em]it is [C]He

[G]Lord of the sabbath is His name,
[Em]from age to age He is the same

[D]And He will win,
[C]and He will win the [G]battle    [D]

{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse}
[G]And though this world with devils filled,
[C]should threaten to undo us

[G]We will not fear, for God has willed,
[C]His truth to triumph through us

[D]The Prince of [Em]Darkness [C]grim,
[D]we tremble [Em]not for [C]him

[G]His rage we surely can endure,
[Em]for God has said his doom it is sure

[D]One little word will,
[C]one little word will [G]end him   [D]

{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse}
[G]That word above all earthly powers,
[C]will never fade away

[G]The Spirit and the gifts are ours
[C]to guide us every day

[D]Let goods and [Em]kindred [C]go,
[D]this mortal [Em]life al[C]so

[G]This body,  they may kill;
[Em]God’s truth, abideth still

[D]His kingdom is,
[C]His kingdom is for[G]ever      [D]
