MIGHTY FORTRESS
INTRO 4/4 t = 146 |B |B E |B | B E| (ACOUSTIC/VOCAL)

VERSE 1 B E B E
A mighty fortress is our God,
G#m E B E
a bulwark never failing;
B E B E
Our helper He, amid the flood
G#m E B
of mortal ills prevailing:
G#m F#/A# B
For still our ancient foe
B F#/A# G#m
Doth seek to work us woe;
G#m F#/A# B
His craft and power are great,
E D#m
And, armed with cruel hate,
E F#/A# B
On earth is not his e - qual.
REFRAIN E G#m E B (HOLD | B |)
Whoooaaa Whoooaaaa 2x
VERSE 2 B E B E
If we in our own strength confide,
G#m E B E
Our striving would be losing,
B E B E
Were not the right Man on our side,
G#m E B
The Man of God’s own choosing:
G#m F#/A# B
You ask who that may be?
B F#/A# G#m
Christ Jesus, it is He;
G#m F#/A# B
The Lord of Hosts, His Name,
E D#m
From age to age the same,
E F#/A# B
And He must win the ba - ttle.
