"Gate 2: Mighty Fortress" Lyrics [edit]
by Christcentric | from the album City of God
 

In a world with mortal ills prevailing, devils assailing/

our God is a God who is never failing!

A helper He, amid the floods railing/

over the levies of life making our hearts heavy!

But He's a bulwark, a fortress/

against the dark forces seeking to work us woe!

For still that ancient foe, whose craft and power is great/

strapped with murderous hate, there's no equal!

So how can we strive against the prince who attempts/

to quench the fires of faith inside?

And we confide in our own strength, you know we/

be losing like Kobe without Shaq beside!

But on our side is the right man, at the right hand/

God's man He chose to provide!

You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus is He/

advocate for we, our faith secure!

Lord Sabaoth His name, from age to age the same/

all things for His fame, He'll win the war!

So this for sure, though the world's filled with fiends/

who oppose those keen to keep the gospel pure!

There's no need to fear, for God has decreed/

His truth to succeed in those He chose to bore!

Now for the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not/

a hot lake of brimstone, God's plot for him!

So we'll endure his rage, with a word from the page/

(just one) resist and He's a distant blaze! (uh-huh)

With that word, above all dominion/

preserved and still heard despite all opinions!

And through the spirit and the gifts in them/

God's people got a guarantee He'll be with Him!

So the loss of material- wealth, and immaterial- health/

and kinfolk are slim and then hope!

So cut that rope, that's got you clinging/

to the love of this life and be loving the light!

The love of the Christ, that's brought covenant life/

ignites, through the fight, so we sing with all of our might!



Elohim is our fortress, even when crossed with/

demonic forces, scheming to torch us/

if it seems we lost, we can team with our voices/

and scream with a boisterous- Our God is our fortress!



God's our ever present help, refuge and tower/

death You devour, with rescuing power!

When earthquakes scale off the rictor/

greatest physical commotions, to the mountains and oceans/

God won't fail He's the victor, read scripture/

see the picture of faithful devotion!

We're fixed as Your tent/

our Dad can stop the catastrophic category 5 cataclysmic event!

Where Satan would harm, we shall be delivered/

there's rivers of living water within your borders/

we're safe in Your arms! None can claim your office/

against pagan forces, U remain our fortress!

Your eye remains on the sparrow, when the enemy/ wants to harm me in battle, I remember the/

armies of Pharaoh's, squad, God/

and how You pulled their card just like some palm reading tarot!

In the face of evil, be still/

selah, He will, show Himself to be God with no equal!

We never miss the fact, You remain the universe sustaining, never get caught off guard by terrorist attacks in reigning!

You're God let's stop complaining! Aiming for trust that won't differ/

before we go back to dust like swiffers, Immanuel/

God's with us, and if our lives won't survive the times/

the bottom line we won't land in hell!

They can hit us with rods, and uproar with war/

but we're much more secure in Your city of God!

Elohim is our fortress, even when crossed with/

demonic forces, scheming to torch us/

if it seems we lost, we can team with our voices/

and scream with a boisterous- Our God is our fortress!
