Mighty is the fortress of the Divine

Mighty is the fortress of the Divine
Protection of the just, strong as a vine
In Heaven’s deliverer I will trust
Protect me and turn all evil to dust
For you are my rock and my high tower
Enemies turn at your sight and cower
You have redeemed me to proclaim your truth
Unrighteous fall because they are uncouth

But my spirit discerns truth by your grace
Simplicity of your love I embrace
Weakness I bring on myself when I fail
Lead me to heaven and your strength avail
With a contrite heart I do turn to you
By your mercy only you can renew


Psalm 31:3   “For thou art my rock and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.”
