The classic "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" was written by the great reformer Martin Luther. And in just a couple lines, it captures what I hoped to convey yesterday.
"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."What is that one little word? Or as the song says in an earlier verse - "Dost ask who that may be?"
Luther has told us - "Christ Jesus it is He".
God's given us all we need to be victorious in our battles - all we need to do is to run to our mighty fortress and suit up in the Armor of God.
Here's the version of the song we sang Sunday. It follows the traditional pace and time for a bit and then switches to a more upbeat rhythm and alternate chorus. There are no lyrics but I think I've highlighted them enough above.
