Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When my fear is overwhelming
on Your promise I will stand
You are faithful to the end
When my enemies surround me
I am safe within Your hand
You are faithful to the end
And when the battle comes
I know You�??re my defender
A mighty fortress is Our God
And when the victory�??s won
I know I�??ll still be standing
A mighty fortress is Our God
Let Your presence go before me
into places I can�??t see
You are everything I need
Let my weakness show Your glory
and my scars declare Your strength
You are everything I need
And when the battle comes
I know You�??re my defender
A mighty fortress is Our God
And when the victory�??s won
I know I�??ll still be standing
A mighty fortress is Our God [X2]
Our hands are lifted up
The King of Glory fights for Us
One Word will rise above
In Jesus�?? Name We overcome.
[X2]
And when the battle comes
I know You�??re my defender
A mighty fortress is Our God
And when the victory�??s won
I know I�??ll still be standing
A mighty fortress is Our God [X3]
