Lyrics A Mighty Fortress is Our God - Miami Northwestern Senior High School Concert Chorus & Vocal Ensemble

A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
A helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still, our ancient foe
Does seek to make us woe
His craft and power are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth there's not his equal

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Our striving, our striving
Be losing, be losing

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
Thus, as who that may be
Christ Jesus did he see
The Sabbath of His name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle
A mighty fortress is our God

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Our striving, our striving
Be losing, be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing

Whereat the right Man on our side
The Man of God's own choosing
Thus, as who that may be
Christ Jesus did he see
The Sabbath of His name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle
A mighty fortress is our God

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Our striving, our striving
Be losing, be losing
