A Mighty Fortress is Our God

I've been wanting to post this for a while now, just didn't seem to find the time to sit down and do it. But, since I'm relaxing at grandma and grandpa's and Makaela is sleeping (yes, still sleeping at 5:30) I thought I'd take a quick minute to do this post. We sang an arrangement of this song last month in choir--correction--the choir sang an arrangement and I played piano. That whole accompaniment thing is still a stretching experience for me, so the Lord must still have more He wants to teach me through it. Anyway, as we were singing first service, I was completely overwhelmed (to the point of tears which is not necessarily the best thing when you're trying to play the piano) by the goodness and greatness of our God!! I wasn't the only one, and it is always so encouraging and convicting to my heart when the spirit moves so greatly within!! So, I wanted to share the words because they are so powerful and God used them to speak deeply to me.

"A Mighty Fortress"

Our God is a consuming fire, a burning holy flame, with glory and freedom;

Our God is the only righteous judge, ruling over us with kindness and wisdom;

And we will keep our eyes on You, we will keep our eyes on You.

A mighty fortress is our God;

A sacred refuge is Your Name.

Your kingdom is unshakeable;

And with you forever we will reign.

Our God is jealous for His own, none could comprehend His love and His mercy;

Our God is exalted on His throne, high above the heavens, forever He is worthy;

And we will keep our eyes on You, we will keep our eyes on You.

A mighty fortress is our God;

A sacred refuge is Your Name.

Your kingdom is unshakeable;

With you forever we will reign.

A Mighty Fortress is our God!!"
