lyrics

VERSE 1
A mighty fortress is our God. A bulwark never failing.
Our helper He, amid the flood. Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe. Doth seek to work us woe.
His craft and power are great. And armed with cruel hate.
On earth is not his equal.

CHORUS
Oh God’s Lion is a Lamb
Takes the scroll held in His hand
And breaks the seals revealing
Every nation, tribe and tongue
Come to sing before the One

Who purchased us back from the grave
God’s redeeming love made a way
In the wake of the cross true justice shines through
Behold He is making all things new

VERSE 2
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us.
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim. We tremble not for him.
His rage we can endure. For lo, his doom is sure.
One little lamb shall fell him

CHORUS
Oh God’s Lion is a Lamb
Takes the scroll held in His hand
And breaks the seals revealing
Every nation, tribe and tongue
Come to sing before the One

Who purchased us back from the grave
God’s redeeming love made a way
In the wake of the cross true justice shines through
Behold He is making all things new

VERSE 3
That word above all earthly powers. With them we will not sideth.
The Spirit and the gifts are ours. Through him we now abideth
Let goods and kindred go. This mortal life also.
The body they may kill. God's truth endureth still.
His kingdom is forever.
