Burdened by death, desperate for life
You found me in darkness and put me in your light
You gave me a song and I'll shout it with joy
Cause the curse has been lifted and You've won the war
Alle - lu - ia!
Mighty God, You are my rock and shield
A fortress that fights off fear
Saved from the enemy, salvation bringing victory
Perfect in all Your ways, worthy of unending praise, Alleluia
Why did I doubt, Your power to save
And rescue me from, the shadow of shame
No end to the drum, no rest for my mouth
The battle that's waging, cannot silence the shout
Alle - lu - ia!
Mighty God, You are my rock and shield
A fortress that fights off fear
Saved from the enemy, salvation bringing victory
Perfect in all Your ways, worthy of unending praise, Alleluia
All my strength comes from what You provide
Without it, I can't survive
In trial, if I face fear, I will not forget
My strength comes from what You provide
Without it, I can't survive
In trial, if I face fear, I will not forget You're near
In every step I take, Your promises stay the same
Mighty God, You are my rock and shield
A fortress that fights off fear
Saved from the enemy, salvation bringing victory
Perfect in all Your ways, worthy of unending praise
Perfect in all Your ways, worthy of unending praise, Alleluia
Alleluia
